The Switch was the first.... and it stood out, the 2nd wont as much (if its just more powerfull hardware, which is all it needs imo).
It could, nothing is impossible, but its a tough ask.
Still it should be another 100% chance of doing 100m+ console sales, for the Switch 2.
If it plays its cards right, with price/avaliablity... and game library... its going to be another sales monsters.
The appeal of a 2 in 1, device is high.
Its a good strategy. I hope nintendo sticks with it, and does a easy name for the next console.
Dont f*** around with name/brand (dont do another wii->wiiU, situation).
Just name it the Switch 2.
Keep it simple, aim for high investment into bang-4-buck, in terms of hardware performance compaired to the last gen switch.
It should be a guaranteed success.
The only way this flops, is if nintendo does something wildly unnessary, which massively inflates its price.
Does a stupid name pick, and then when sales dont go well, abandon all marketing, like with the Wii U.
Nintendo cant be that dumb, its done something like that once before.... and that should be enough to learn from it.
So I dont expect the Switch 2 to automatically beat the first one.
However if they can just retain, like 95% of its current users, that would be fine too right?
Another console from them, that eventually ends up at like 150m.... Nintendo would be happy.
