That’s one way of lookin at it but it doesn’t mean it’s correct. If you apply the same logic to 3ds and NSW, then NSW looks like it’ll end just above 26mil, and hit 27mil or so. NSW and the 3DS just crossed paths and was about the same after 17 quarters. 2 quarters later and NSW is 2mil+ ahead of 3ds without this quarter ending yet. In fact weekly sales NSW year 5 is above 3ds year 5/6/7 combine. That said the difference between NSW and DS is the sales trajectory, as DS is somewhere around 5.5mil ahead aligned, DS year 6/7/8 are the following (MC numbers) 2010: 2.872.621
2011: 657.815
2012: 68.973 (DS has an extra quarter though) |
I compare to the DS, since people expect DS numbers, 33m. The 3DS had an artificial sales curve due to the first year price cut. But it still represents just how hard consoles may drop in Japan. NSW year 7 and 8 probably won't be that good either as the next successor should be announced by then. |
You also need to take a look at the lineup for the system.
2022 Switch
Splatoon = 4-5M seller
Pokemon Legends = 3-4M seller
Botw 2 - 2.5M seller
3D Kirby game - 1.5M seller
MHR SunBreak - 1M seller
And many more
