As I said, it's too early to call that and do a prediction for a system which isn't out yet. But yes if Nintendo plays it's card right, with 399$ price it would be way closer to Switch 1, then it will be with 449$ cuz I think that 399$ is not just 50$ difference but a mental limit for many too. I don't know if they will do price cuts too. This will play a big role in the long term performance. What games it will have is still unknown but in the example of going after the Switch 1 sales performance of course it will need the best ones that can possibly come out for the system. OLED and Lite models are almost sure in the future. I am comparing PS5 to PS4 because the successor (PS5) is neck in neck in sales with the PS4 to this moment. I am not including the pure sales numbers at all here, just the neck in neck case. The same I can see with 399$ Switch 2 and of course, the proper marketing, software and everything needed to get the Switch 2 selling the best it can and to be neck in neck with the Switch 1 launch aligned. At 449$ I think it will trail behind. At 299$ it could even start outselling it from the start. |
Wait you aren't expecting Switch 2 to be ahead for now despite the 449.99 pricing? I think that is bold. Switch 2 should have a far larger launch just because of better stock alone. I expect Switch 2 to be ahead until maybe Animal Crossing and Covid honestly. Switch 2018 dropped the ball alittle due to Labo. Switch 2 could get a Mario movie boost around that time launch aligned.
Edit:I forgot to mention the whole tariff thing. It's only 90 days for now and I'm sure some consumers would fear everything going right back up. That could push some people to upgrading faster.
