Yes this is very true, until March 31, 2027 is when support for the Switch will stop (though I think this only refers to production). They even stated this before. So we should expect the same to be done for the Switch 2, 10 years of production. Meaning on average Switch 2 needs to sell near 17M to reach my very early living prediction of 170M. Given that Nintendo via Bloomberg says that 2025 will sell 20M units this gives good vibes for the consoles future.

I also plan to make a list of all rumored games and the leaked specs so we can get an understanding of what we could be dealing with.

I don't think Switch 2 will pass Switch 1, not even PS2 or the DS. But 120- 130 million should be in the cards. 10 years for Switch 2?At this Stage it’s too early to say because we have not even seen ingame graphics let alone confirmes games. Nobody knows if MK9 will be called like this. I expect 6 -8 years for Switch 2 if it has a moderate sucess, 10 years+ if it shoots for the Stars. 4- 6 if it flops, but i can't see that. Switch 1 will be 10 years+ and i am ready to bet my dig on that fact!

Hmm I think this convo would be better on Switch 2 vs Nintendo King thread. But Switch will be 10 years with software and hardware support. It will continue to have Online support well into the Switch 2 and maybe even through the lifecycle of Switch 2. I think both Switch and Switch 2 will have Nintendo Online (they will rebrand it from NSO to just NO). And going back to Switch 2 the simple reason why I think it’ll go for 10 is that Nintendo wants to demonstrate that they can have a streak of success.



Lifetime Sales Predictions 

Switch: 160 million (was 120 million, then 140 million, then 150 million)

PS5: 130 million (was 124 million)

Xbox Series X/S: 54 million (was 60 million, then 57 million)
