Hardware in line with my expectations, SMB Wonder significantly below my expectations despite being the fastest-selling Super Mario game anyway, Super Mario RPG significantly better than what I had expected.

I am not sure when I'll get around to updating my spreadsheet (still have to do the update for Q2 first, so I am way behind). But that aside, Switch remains on track to become the best-selling console of all time. A 30% decline in calendar year 2024 would still result in a figure above 10m, so despite inevitably approaching the end of its era as Nintendo's main console, there's enough gas left in the tank.

The only way I see Switch 1 passing PS2 is if Nintendo makes decisions that will Sabatage Switch 2's capabilities to sell. Personally, I hope they don't chase records and instead target the healthiest situation for Switch 2.

What would be some examples of sabotaging the successor's ability to sell? We don't know what Nintendo has planned for the successor, nor when they will announce or launch it.

I hope they give the successor a healthy environment, and provide the Switch a path to surpass the total hardware sales of the PS2.
