Shadow1980 said: Unless Canada and Latin America make up for the U.S. and then some, then probably not. The deficit against the DS is just too great. Let's say the Switch sells 3.25M this year in the U.S. It will be sitting at about 47.5M (there is a slight margin of error). Meanwhile, the DS sold 53.5M units lifetime in the U.S. That means the Switch will need to sell at least another 6M or so from 2025 onward just to tie the DS. Absolutely no chance of that. Once the Switch 2 releases, the Switch is going to drop like a rock, as is normal for a Nintendo system once its official replacement is released. It'll probably end somewhere around 49M at the end of its life, maybe 50M tops. |
I feel like Mexico can be a big boost for North America. Looking how Mexico did with the Mario Movie, it seems like a reasonable idea that more units can be sold in Mexico compared to Canada.
Though I do believe that the Switch does need a cut in price in Mexico and the Latin countries. But the Mexican market seems untapped and has great potential.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)
PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)
Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
