There's no guarantee of this. Look at the last time Nintendo hit these heights, the Nintendo DS dropped from 17.5 Million to 5 million when the 3DS came out, and that was with a bad 3DS launch. The DS sold a total of 7 and a bit million more for the rest of it's lifetime because the 3DS was backwards compatible and the DS was a saturated market. The Switch sales are slowing faster than the 3DS already prior to the successors launch, the idea it will continue strong sales after the Successor is launched is not in any way guaranteed. In fact history suggests the opposite. |
It still has great games coming to it and as you said it, even the DS sold around 7 millions after the 3DS. Thing is i don't think if the 3DS was successful the DS would have sold way less. So if the Switch 2 has a successful launch, i don't think it will stop the Switch of selling anothing 6-8 millions in 2-3 years |
As said the DS was selling higher than the Switch is now when the 3ds came. We can assume thar the Switch with the same level of sales drop would sell less.
