The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch

I don’t remember what I said a few years ago in this thread, but I do know I was absolutely convinced the Switch successor device was going to launch in Q1 2024.

If Switch 2 is really launching Q1 2025, and we assume they aren’t just going to stop selling the regular switch immediately, I don’t see a scenario where the Switch sells less than 160 million consoles lifetime.

This.  I was 100% on team, 2024.

Didn't think they would wait until 2025.

160m is legit possible now.

*edit:

I was also, of the opinion that nintendo were being greedy with the price of the switch, and that they could sell it at break end point, and have it be like almost 100$ cheaper than they did.  Which was what I thought, they would need to do, to go above the 160m sales. Turns out I was wrong, Nintendo can demand a primium on hardware (unlike playstation/xbox, that sell their consoles at almost a loss), and still break 160m.
