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.

Switch will be 10 years+ both hard and Software that should be obvious. 3rd party 100%, first party remains to be seen, march 2026 will be the floor. If the next mainline Pokémon game wich will launch late 2026 is cross gen (30th anniversary- so it would absolutly make sense to release it on the till then MAYBE most sold videogames system of all time IF it really reaches 160 million) then march 2027 for first party cross gen would be the floor. For Switch 2 we'll have to wait. Yes every Nintendo handheld had 10 years+ of hardware support (GB 1989- 2003, GBA 2001- 2011, DS 2004- 2015, 3DS 2011- 2021, Switch will be 2017- 2027) there is a chance but its not guaranteed! In the handheld space Nintendo is without competition. Steam Deck, Anus Faily... are a joke sales wise (i am sure we are not allowed to compare them because Nintendo fucks them big time😘) and its also outselling the PS5, Xbox is chanceless so why hurry?
