| killer7 said: We do not know enough about Switch 2 to say how much it sells. Fact is, the Switch 2 unveil video surpassed PS5's unveil! Thats a good start, reactions are overwhelmingly positive (maybe even the most positive rractions ever for a system unveil- at least its hype level surpasses the ones of every system from any company ever) but thats only half of the Story! In the US the Dreamcast had a record breaking launch, the WiiU sold 3,5 million in its first 3 weeks (december 2012), the Vita sold 1,1 million in its firt few days WW, but we know how these systems ended... I say a flop is basically excluded but i wouldn't throw numbers like 150 million+ around. What we can say is that the Switch will end with 157 million+ minimum by march 2027 thats as good as guaranteed! |
Tbh I'd predict at least 100m because the fact of the matter is the is practically a monopoly on the portable market those platforms didn't have the same safety net as remember 3DS had a tough start and clawed its way to 75m and mind you any poor start Switch has will be addressed even more sharply as it's now their sole platform, the core home console Nintendo fans plus anyone who outside of that demographic can top up the sales to hit 100m.
We don't know how much it will sell sure but we know enough to assess the situations as I mentioned above the hybrid format by default puts it in two parallel markets, the format is also a proven appealing concept which they've decide to not fix what isn't broken and instead build on a strong foundation this leaves the main challenge being appealing to both the Red and Blue ocean consumers again.
