| Kristof81 said: If Nintendo wanted to make Switch best selling console of all time, I'm pretty sure they could (slash prices, increase marketing budget, release new bundles/SKUs, delay successor), but they're not going to take a loss or compromise the release of their new system in any way because of one metric, which at this point in time is irrelevant anyway as they long passed their peak growth and with it, spend per customer. So, no. I don't think Switch will surpass the PS2 as it would have to be one of the Nintendo's goals, which I'm sure it isn't. |
Agreed. As I've said several times (as others have too) Switch already holds the crown for the most profitable platform of all-time from sales data. Nintendo cares far more about that than bragging rights of surpassing the DS and PS2. They've already surpassed PS4 and GB+GBC.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 156 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million)
PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
