@curl-6 I was actually thinking about 138 million, which is why I said close to 140m by the end of the year. Either way, I do expect every quarter this year to be down compared to 2022.
It's true that the DS did have all those advantages. The Switch actually had some advantages of its own, being that it can be a handheld/home console and it was the only system Nintendo supported this generation (meaning resources weren't split). Still, the DS had better advantages than the Switch.
I feel like early 2024 is too early because I feel that means the system would be announced this year. I think the system should be released the same year it is announced. That being said, that doesn't mean they have to wait until November. Honestly, I hope they don't want that long. A summer or September release would probably be most ideal. We already know that diehards will buy the system day 1, so there's no reason to release during the holidays.
