Switch Sales Top 104M - Global Hardware Feb 6-12

[The_Liquid_Laser]

Switch did nearly 400k on a week where nothing special happened, and it also passed 104M.  Folks, the Switch cliff is never going to come.  I hope most people realize this now.  If you are hoping for a Switch cliff, then abandon all hope now.

People are thinking Switch will plummet quickly like certain past systems, i.e. the Wii or DS (eventually).  The Switch is actually performing like a past system, but that system is the NES/Famicom.  That is the last time that Nintendo could focus all of its resources on supporting one system.  It was also the most dominant system in history, at least in Japan and US.  The Switch is a return to form.  It's just as dominant in Japan as the Famicom, and it's doing extremely well in the other parts of the world.  The NES sold for several years after the SNES launched.  Expect the Switch to keep selling too.

I wonder if there's a slight possibility to see the Switch completely outselling both the XSe and PS5 once Strikers comes for the Switch on June. It could potentially be the "FIFA" moment the Switch needed to propel itself high in the european territory ...

I do think Switch can do this if they can keep supply up.  However, I think the FIFA-like title you should be looking at is Switch Sports.  It can pull in real life football/soccer fans that do not play FIFA video games.
