The last holiday line for the Switch is really small. It's smaller than the DS'10 and like @Amnesia wrote in the comments of the article, this fight is over. I can see Switch reaching around 133-135M with this year end and around 140M with 2024. Maybe 145M at most. But not 154M in any case. Unless they cut the Lite to 99$ and the normal to 149$ and OLED to 199$. The only place where Switch has some chance for now against DS is Japan, it's 50/50 for me. Cuz yes, DS is pretty much dead there in this point in time, however Switch is not moving very much too. With sales of just 50k weekly, I expect it to drop to 25-30k weekly by the fall and make around 2.5M to 3M at max. With the next year making no more than 1M and falling short of the 33M of the DS.
Where are all of those who last year and 2021 were 100% sure Switch will hit 160 and even 180M ? What happened ?
