Not at all the same situations. PS2 was insanely cheap compared to the PS3 and much much much more popular. DS was also much cheaper and the 3D feature of the 3DS that set it apart from the DS was a feature most people didn't even want. So no, your "by that logic" sentence is not at all the logic I'm stating. "I am sorry to contradict you but everything points to first party support till 2026 at least."...literally nothing confirms this though haha. I have no idea what "everything" is when "everything" is literally nothing. What we do know is that a few games are coming out on Switch in the first half of next year. We know nothing about any games coming out past that. I'd venture to guess no first party games will be coming after that, unless they are very small games, or maybe some more ports that they'd release on both Switch and Switch 2, which will do nothing to continue new Switch hardware sales. We don't know when Prime and Pokemon are coming out. You say these games won't launch before summer and autumn. We literally don't know that. You're just guessing. There is currently no reason to think they won't come out before next gen launches. We'll have to wait and see. I'd say they will at latest be cross-gen launches on the successor launch day. In terms of Switch being a 10 year system, yeah they are still going to be probably shipping a few thousand Switch units a week in 2026 and 2027 = 10 years. And there will of course be third party stuff coming to the system. Nowhere am I saying it isn't a 10 year system. Who guarantees there won't be any price cuts? Nobody. I think they absolutely need to cut the price! I think they should've already done it earlier this year. I hope they do! But so far there are no indications that they will, given that they never have after 7.5 years, and haven't even the past year as sales have slowed down drastically. Like I say in my prediction, my prediction is based on them not cutting the price. If they do cut the price I would expect them to pick up a couple million more hardware sales and get up to close to the PS2. Personally I think they should drop the Switch to something like $130/$230/$280, but given their complete lack of hardware and software price cuts this entire gen I don't expect them to drop the price, and if they don't the $300 and $350 model's sales are gonna immediately dry up when a presumably $400 next gen system launches. Only the Lite will be selling at that point if there's no price cuts of minimum $50. |
I think you asume that Prime 4 and Pokémon will come before july. There where so many years where we litterally knew nothing and i remember the times when some people thought TOTK would be the Switch's swan song. Man where they wrong, haha. I remember that some people said Pikmin 4 would be the last game on Switch and so on and so on...
I politley ask you sir not to think i would be stupid if i somehow doubt, the Switch would die next year. After a 10 million+ year a system won't die off instantly especially not a handheld like the Switch. Maybe i could be wrong, maybe you could be wrong who knows. But asuming its "absolutly sure" the Switch would die off this quickly when it proved so many of us wrong all the time is a bit thoughtless, don't you think?
