After a strong last quarter this one brings things back down to earth with another adjustment down for hardware to 11m which is expected since 13.5m was always very ambitious. It's still for sure good for its age but its age is starting to really show now so it's unfortunate they didn't have the Switch 2 ready by November since people are hungry for it so it better launch by May-June. Things really are gonna come down to the wire when it comes to beating the PS2 it seems which is exciting in its own way. For software Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is insane as usual though Mario Wonder really has kinda underperformed compared to expectations. I guess 2D Mario just isn't as popular as it used to be.
Also growth in the annual playing users seems to be nearly stopping so a big task for the Switch 2 will be to prevent that from declining and ideally grow it further in the coming years.
