| Jumpin said: I’ve been reading some stock market analysts talk about the Switch, they’re raising fucking alarm bells about the sales slump of the Switch, saying all kinds of nonsense like chip shortages and Corona Virus bumps… not one of them mentioning how old the Switch is at this point. I mean, the thing’s nearing grandfather age at this point. I’m not sure if Nintendo messaged them and confused these silly bastards, or if these stock analyst chuckleheads are still somehow clueless when it comes to tech-cycles… You know? something we’ve seen on every console released since the Gameboy. And even that was a bit of a fucking anomaly given the Pokémon phenomenon. |
In reality, the Switch is forecasted to sell 21 Million Units in its 6th fiscal year which has never been done before by any console in history. The closest ones were the DS & PS4 both selling around 18 Million in their 6ht fiscal year, so even on the low end of that forecast, the Switch should still comfortably beat the PS4's & DS's 6th Fiscal Year which is crazy to see a console potentially sell 20 Million+ in its 6th Fiscal Year. The fact that investors & stock market analysts are freaking out about this is fucking stupid & don't understand the simple concept of a console's lifecycle. I'd expect at least a little more competency from these "analysts" who research this for a living but I guess not smh...
