I very much think it's gonna outsell the Switch, which might still climb to 170m if nintendo cut's the price and make nintendo selects.
The "predictions" here are almost on par with the nonsense from the period of the switch reveal.
Nintendo is delivering capable hardware, cheaper than it's main competitor, that is both portable and home console, will run all the 3rd partie titles that are on ps5 while looking basically the same AND has the best 1st party library by a landslide. Guess which console the mass market will prefer?
Early, mid and late adopters of the switch will be early, mid and late adopters of the Switch 2. There will also be many who didn't get a switch who will now get a Switch 2 instead of a ps5 or xsx/xss and never look back.
I'm also going to adress something that's been bothering me. Many beings in this forum keep saying that Switch 2 has no chance to outsell the switch because of covid. I can't stress enough how extremely dumb and ignorant that is. For starters, covid didn't make people who weren't gonna buy a console suddenly get it. It made people who already wanted a console getbit sooner. No different than the 3ds price cut.
Furthermore, we need to analyze a scenario without covid for the switch. In that case, it likely would get a price cut to $249 in 2020, so oled eould later release for $299 and many games delayed due to covid would have released sooner. And while I don't think that price cut would be enough for switch to sell as well as during covid in 2020 and 2021, post covid years of 2022 to now would have sold higher than it did due to lower price. So current switch sales would be the same or even higher if covid never happened. Saying NS2 won't beat the NS because there won't be a covid is a big nothing sandwich.
