Switch 2 is setting records left and right. Even though it will most likely fall short of Switch's lifetime sales, the consumer confidence is there in a way it was not at Switch's launch in 2017.
And these price hikes of Switch in the USA and Canada do not paint a good picture for Nintendo trying to get as many Switch units in the hands of customers as possible relative to needs for manufacturing Switch 2.
Switch could still sell around 161 million like I have predicted on my signature. It might even have 162-164 million units in it. But I voted 158-160 million units. Expect more third-party games to come to Switch for a while, but the hardware itself is on the back burner until it's discontinued around 2027-2029.

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)
