Given how much the Wii-U cost when Switch launched... Xbox. lol

Is that really a fair comparison? Switch Lite is almost surely cheaper to make in 2024 than Wii U was in 2016-January 2017. Switch Lite is one tablet with outdated specs. Wii U was already outdated of course for most of its life but there is the Game Pad and console itself to worry about. 

Now Switch and likely Switch OLED are probably as pricy to make right now as Wii U was around the end of its life, but even that's not a given. 



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

PS5: 115 million (was 105 million) Xbox Series S/X: 48 million (was 60 million, then 67 million, then 57 million)

PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)

3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
