If gave an option to those gamers of a cheaper option of a Switch TV they would definitely get that, even more so if they are less expensive than the base Switch 2 That are multiple ways to increase hardware sales, and having different options is one of them. I mean, is there any point on a Switch OLED since it's basically the same Switch with better screen and slightly better storage? Yet the OLED is still the best selling SKU right now Revisions are not supposed to sell dozens of millions, if they were then Sony would not release a PS5 Pro to sell maybe what? 10 million units lifetime at best? Even a 10 million units Switch 2 TV would already justify its own existence |
2017 Switch numbers were 14m today they're 152m, 20% back then equates to 2.8m we need more recent numbers than those and to further push the point home have those people stayed exclusively playing home console mode since maybe they were waiting on certain titles. However lets try and speculate on those numbers 30% back then were using it exclusively as portable yet Lite sales today are only around 13% of sales I'd guess that a static version would be less than 10% of sales.
This harks back to my point as even the Lite itself is questionable as I'm convinced if it didn't exist sales would still find their way to what they are now just a bit slower which is why I see a static version as even more pointless the is already a solution in place filling the role. PS5 pro is a revision to extend console life it plays a much different role for Sony and tbh one that is more justified imo.
