Just like with the DS. DS did better numbers from the switch and still it's audience were 100% handheld. Someone who wants home console would have already bought and play on PS4 or XB1 before 2021, and would've give his money on the PS5 or XBSX now not on the switch to play home on a PS3 like graphics. Also I don't know who predicted for the switch to fall of a cliff in 2018 or 2019, this is stupid. It is normal to sell well for 3-4 years at least. But with 2020 and 2021 no one was expecting the sales that it did. However on it's sixth year - 2022 (after march) it's normal for the system to decline. And yes I am saying decline even for this year however 25M vs 28M last year isn't really a decline. Just like it wasnt decline for the DS from 29M to 27M in 2009, or it isn't decline for the PS4 from 20M to 18M in 2018. Those are just margin of error like .. You cant really call 10-15% a decline. |
Others have beaten me to it but Nintendo's own statistics about Switch use as well as the hybrid model consistently outselling the Lite show your claims to be untrue.
Again, I'm not saying the system will not decline next year, it likely will as a decline in sales by a system's 6th year is normal, on that we agree, but your claims of it falling sharply to 15 million in 2022 honestly comes off as wishful thinking not based on any logical evidence.
