| ShadowLink93 said: Nintendo Switch's calendar year sales compared to Nintendo's most successful handheld and home console (DS & Wii) and their last handheld and home console (3DS & Wii U). In it's 6th Calendar year (purple) Switch ships 19.01 million versus 19.46 million for DS, 4.41 million for Wii, 7.36 million for 3DS and the Wii U at this point had already ended production and been discontinued 2 years prior.  .  |
Looking at this I feel like the Switch still has a decent shot at beating the DS. I can't really see it doprping as much as the DS did. There are too many unknowns at the moment to really draw a conclusion though.
Are Nintendo going to release a Switch 2 or are they going to do something crazy again? The latter leaves the possibility of a final iteration of the Switch to be released as a definitive way to play Switch games, it can also prolong the final years of sales. How much of an impact is Tears of the Kingdom going to have on sales? When is Prime 4 releasing and what impact is it going to have? What other games are we seeing this year and the next?
I think we'll see some very big surprises still this year that will keep sales higher than expected.
