| Norion said: Initially sure though what do you think will make up for the covid boost down the line? Cause I struggle to see the Switch 2 matching the Switch 1 let alone outselling it cause of that. Another thing is the only major region with notable growth potential is Europe and I don't see it matching its level of success in NA and Japan, especially the latter due to exports getting cracked down on. Also it seems you have its sales by year mapped out for this so could you share that? |
All I have is just some initial ranges I played around with. After playing around with a few different sets of ranges I went with this one. My guess falls into the upper area. As far as slowly making up for the Covid sales, I'm taking into account that moving into an all digital world is going to sour users of other platforms that prefer physical media. Though it may not be a huge percentage, even a small percentage of 4%-8% is a large chunk of gamers.
Another variable I've been looking at is the Xbox user base. I don't think it just's going to disappear, they're going to go somewhere if Xbox isn't going to do anything to keep them on their devices. Some will go to PC and Playstation, but moving over to Nintendo is going to offer the most value once exclusive games and pricing are factored in.
Another area that allows for growth is the hardware capabilities of the Switch 2. CoD, Halo, Gears, Destiny, GTA?, Sports(Football, NBA, Fifa),Racing type games are now going to be able to run on the platform (I'd expect 3rd party developers to take full advantage of that). It can also entice the consumers that only purchase a console to play just the one game/series to now have a 3rd option.
...to avoid getting banned for inactivity, I may have to resort to comments that are of a lower overall quality and or beneath my moral standards.
