Shipments during the four most recent quarters: Switch (hybrid SKU): 15.76m Obligatory link for collected Switch shipment data. It's close to a 2:1 ratio in favor of the hybrid SKU, but said SKU has also suffered much more severe shortages than the Lite during the past year. If supply had been limitless, then the hybrid would have certainly had a ratio of greater than 2:1 in its favor. Regarding Pachter, he's a paid shill. His name is well-known among video game journalism, so there's a basis to shape opinions with hot takes, no matter how wrong they may be. The time to bring Pachter out with this nonsense is now, because the expectation that Switch sales would have tapered off by the time the PS5 and XSX|S launch hasn't come to fruition. Gotta establish the narrative that Switch is a handheld, because otherwise the other two consoles stand no chance at winning. |
Alrighty, I thought it was around 2:1. But yeah it'd probably be a lot more weighted in favour of the hybrid if it was widely available, as a lot of people probably settled for a Lite simply cos they couldn't get a base model.
So did Pachter actually say that, that Switch would peter out by or be killed by the launch of PS5/XS? That'd be another pretty hilarious goof.
