This is a very interesting comparison. The Switch has been far more consistent year-to-year than DS was, though DS had higher highs in '06/'07. I'm very curious how Switch will perform after the successor releases now, as the DS's sales absolutely plummeted once 3DS released in 2011. Think of this way: The DS was at 32.15 at the end of 2010, coming off a nearly 3M year. Yet it still finished BELOW 33M! If the Switch finishes like the DS did, it will finish below 36M. Doesn't that seem impossible with how well it's been selling to date? |
After the launch of the Switch 2 it seems logical to push the Switch lite as a budget alternative, even lowering the price for it. That way it can remain relevant as a good console at a very low cost on the Japanese market, compared to the more pricey PS5/Switch 2.
