Forget that! When will switch outsell NES + SNES + N64 + GC + Wii + Wii U. VGC will never be satisfied, EVER!!! The cliff is always there |
Quick maths got that to around ~280 million units.
So only 190 million more units sold to go :)
| curl-6 said: Its two predecessors sold 89.5 million units combined according to Nintendo, (13.56 + 75.94) so as of the latest weekly numbers, Switch has outsold them both. Early in the Switch's life is was often argued by some that because it was replacing them both, it would have to sell better than both to be a success. This number was also often held up as the maximum potential audience for Switch, as the sum total of their previous home console and handheld install base. Well, here we are. |
Proof is in the pudding.
It outsold both the 3ds + Wii U combinded, and did better on software too.
Its a success story for nintendo.
Concept wise, it makes so much sense (2in1, with better catalog than either a home console or handheld alone, would have.)
