I personally believe that if they do release a Tomodachi, Rhythm Heaven and other smaller IP's then the "system seller" would be Tomodachi due to nostalgia. Rhythm Heaven sells round 1-3M units at most, and those that are Rhythm Heaven enjoyers (like myself) have already gotten a Switch before. I am a strong believer that Metroid Prime 4 will not be the cross-gen launch, because I think they will be releasing a new 3D Mario, and a few months later the new Mario Kart. This 2nd half will probably be (my wish list, most realisitc to the top): Agreed $300 OLED, $150 Lite, $250 Switch or bundles: MK8D+booster bundle, SMBW bundle, TotK bundle, Pikmin 4 bundle. Each bundle would be an additional $50. Maybe Nintendo implements both scenarios essentially slashing the price by $60. With Successor Announcement in Nov 2024
I dont think they would bring in a new SKU model at such a late stage of the console's life. They have done it before with the GB bringing in the GBC, but that is a handheld and was due to the failure that was the Virtual Boy. If they bring in a new SKU, why would they replace it so soon with a brand new successor? I think option 1 is the most logical. |
It’s not unheard of for Nintendo to release an entry level sku late in a consoles life, Game Boy Micro released after DS, Wii Mini released after Wii U and New 2DS XL released after Switch. They can coexist because the people looking to buy a budget version of an aging device are not the same people looking to buy a premium, new device.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
