| XtremeBG said: Exactly. Now with the price hikes, if Sony follows the trend, I can see the PS5 doing 15M instead of 17/18M for this year, but still, it will be tough task for the Switch 2 to sell more than 15M in just 7 months to be able to outsell PS5 whole 2025 year. |
I don't know... the Switch shipped 2.74m by the end of March 2017, its launch month. These pre-order numbers that are floating around for Switch 2 may seem abnormally high, but remember that Nintendo has alluded to a ton of pent-up stock to combat scalpers since last year:

It would not surprise me at all if the Switch 2 shipped north of 5m by the end of June. From there, if it could keep up with Switch 1 shipments for its first year (over 10m shipped for calendar Q3 & Q4), that would put Switch at 15m+ by December 31st.
I think most of us are predicting Switch 2 to have the biggest launch of all time, but we'll know for sure what to expect in a few days.
