| kopstudent89 said: I think COVID was a huge factor to the Switch's success, as well as a huge appetite at the time for modernised Nintendo games with BOTW really setting the pace. I see it doing PS4 like numbers (above 100m but well below 150m), but really depends on many factors such as price, competition and the quality / appeal of the games. The new 3D Zelda won't come in before year 3 as well which might hinder initial sales, though I still expect it to beat lifetime Wii U sales by year 1 |
Switch was outpacing even the PS4 launch allinged before Covid even started. I don't think Covid was the reason for Switch doing well because it was sucessfull before. Also there was inflation during the war in ukraine. If anything, sales would have catered wich did not happen. In 2019 (before Covid) Nintendo promised a 10 years lifecycle for the Switch. In a bit more than 2 years this promise will be fullfiled!!
@Firebush 03 <20 million is wishfull hater thinking. I go with a careful 30- 50 million LTD minimum!
