Will Switch hit 160mil? The way I see it is like this: Rumors suggest Nintendo Successor was planned for Fall 2024 release, but was delayed last minute. Yet in spite of this last minute adjustment, the Switch is still planned to have some heavy-hitters this holiday season (as we now see). That being said, I fully anticipate Nintendo will continue to support Switch for a while, and so I have no doubt the Switch could hit 160mil. (If NSW *could* pass without a price cut, it *would* pass with a price cut. If Nintendo wants it — which it seems they do — it is there’s to take.)
Will Switch hit 13mil for F’25? While they do have a strong lineup planned out, the market of available consumers is shrinking as more people buy Switches. It will be hard to appeal to the remaining audience *without a price cut*. It has been confirmed next gen is next year, and backwards compatibility is heavily rumored: If I’m a consumer, why would I purchase a Switch in Fall 2024 if I know that a superior model will be releasing for around the same price in only a few months? Consumers are rational, but that investment is not.
