(what's with all the pfp-less accounts on this post all the sudden? Or has it always been like this?)
But just to give some lasting thoughts, I don't see much point in speculating atm until Nintendo does something new, whether that be releasing their financial earnings for Q1F'25, announcing a big new title, etc. It's kind of a waste imo to endlessly speculate when conditions haven’t been changing.
(p.s.) Some of y'all need to keep your expectations in check. It is possible the Switch could have some strong legs following the launch of the successor, but the arguments I'm seeing on here aren't logically sound. For instance, one argument I’ve been seeing on here follows the logic of "the 3DS sold >10mil after the Switch launched, and the Switch is much more successful than 3DS, therefore it'll perform even better"…which is complete nonsense, as such claim completely dismisses the nuance between (3DS : Switch) versus (Switch : Switch successor). (In particular, the Switch wasn't originally marketed as a replacement to the 3DS, but rather an alternative. It wouldn't be until 2019 when this mentality would change, at which point manufacturing of 3DS systems would cease.) Since we don't know how Nintendo will launching launching the next system, whether they choose to market it as a replacement or as the luxurious alternative (which would hurt sales of the successor imo), it truly is impossible to predict — with a great deal of accuracy — where the LTD number will land.
