There's definitely room for more base and Lite owners to upgrade to an OLED, but I'm not sure Splatoon 3 is the kind of game to compel people to upgrade rather than just enjoy it on the system they already own.

I'm sure hardware will get a bump the week of Splatoon 3's release, but to the same extent as special edition hardware of the most desirable model? Not so sure. Thankfully we only need to wait 10 days to find out.

You vastly underestimate nsw userbase, I'll put 3ds comparison here for discussion sake...

25mil 3ds total!

3DS 10000k

3DSLL: 7000k

N3DS/N3DSLL: 6000k

2DS: 575k

2DSLL: 1200k

Each model is an upgrade, from 3ds>LL>N3ds/LL. The unique users from this is significantly lower than that of NSW. In case of lite, many upgraded fro, lite to OG.

With Oled, there is much bigger potential especially giving that nsw userbase could be over 15mil unique users and that leaves open OLED and other ,models (if new introduce) can sell a total of 10mil. Oh yeah and this is coming off of nsw/lite still selling 30k roughly a week. There is so much ,more room to growth its actually amazing 

Yeah but what does that have to do with how much hardware Splatoon 3 will move?
