| firebush03 said: also, not sure if i commented already on this, but I do expect NSW2 to easily clear PS5 this calendar year. If NSW2 launches to 6-8mil in June alone, then it’s already caught up to PS5’s total figures. I expect NSW2 to have strong legs & a much stronger holiday than PS5 this year, so yeah, I can see ~23mil C’2025 [7milQ2/6milQ3/10milQ4…Nintendo will not be able to keep up with demand] for NSW2 versus maybe 15-17mil for PS5 [3.5milQ1/3milQ2/2.75milQ3/6.5milQ4]. (the price hikes are really whats gonna hurt PS5 this year.) |
i’ll have you all know that this is my first time predicting launch month sales for a system…so i might be completely off lol. However, I do believe Switch 2 is gonna move an insane number of units, based solely on (i) Nintendo’s claims of planning massive supply (and subsequently selling through all inventory rather instantly…not to mention those JP preorder request figures), (ii) Nintendo Switch selling through (likely) 11mil in its 8th fiscal year (meaning there is a massive market of Nintendo consumers atm), and (iii) NSW2 will likely become a very economical option compared to PS5/XBSXS. Alongside a drought in exclusive offerings to competing systems? It seems like a perfect storm…very much more perfect than 2020, which still saw Nintendo fighting off a new generation during the holidays & a powerful lineup of PS4 releases.
