TBH, the only reason why the Switch has a chance of achieving 33 million and why 40 million was even in the discussion in the first place is BECAUSE of Covid. The reason why manufacturing was affected so drastically and why shortages were so common across the board throughout the year and still are is because as soon as this pandemic started, everyone rushed out to by all the consoles and video games they could so that they'd have something to occupy themselves AND their kids and keep everyone busy while all this has been happening. If there was no Covid, I still think 2020 would be the Switch's peak year. But 33 million? No way in hell. |
I don't know if it has been discussed on here and reached a conclusion why Switch is selling gangbusters this year. But their numbers are really shocking to me. If I analyze it is pretty much a bunch of whammys of COVID, PS4/XB1 being in their end stage, Release of the Switch-Lite. How Switch does post-PS5/Series X launch is also very interesting to me. To be honest, I have a Switch myself, but they have zero complying software for 2020. Animal Crossing/Hyrule Warriors is really meh to me. The only title I have looking forward to is BOTW2.
If Nintendo uses all this console sales and reinvest in themselves, bringing out some new ips, more AAA titles. Then I really applaud them. If they continue to shower us with Paper Mario, Mario Tennis, Mario Danceathon. Then meh, same Nintendo for the past 15 years.
