The launch of consoles is typically the huge fans of gaming or that particular brand of consoles. Casual gamers come later typically. I feel the main problem with sales will be the pricing of the hardware and software for casual gamers. It really doesn't matter about the spec so much its about delivering affordable gaming. I think there is the possibility that Switch 2 won't sell well until perhaps prices outside Japan match Japan prices. I suspect Switch 1 will outsell Switch 2 this Christmas. I think I've seen Switch Lites go for as low as £140 retail but normally £180 I think not sure. That is a casual price point in the UK I would say. I feel there will be some resistance to game pricing from the more casual crowd. |
Everyone keeps bringing up the price of hardware and software. But, Nintendo is still the cheapest hardware out of the big three. And all the 3rd party games are a lot cheaper. Mario Kart is the only one right now listed at $80. But if you want the game, most will buy the bundle which will only cost them $50 more. Honestly, the prices are not as bad as some people are making it out to be.
