I won't say it's impossible but it's definitely looking unlikely it will be able to reach 160M, and these price hikes for Switch 1 definitely didnt help.
If it sells 4M ending March 2026 it'll be around 156M, it'll be hard to muster up another 4M even after several years to reach 160M. A console that's going to be 9 years old with its backwards compatible successor thats already a runaway success plus barely more expensive than the Switch 1 means that sales will inevitably only go down from that 4M mark, im expecting maybe 2M for the fiscal year ending March 2027 before maybe barely selling another Million after March 2027 before all said and done. It's looking like it'll end maybe around 158-159M, just barely short.
The Switch 2 being as big of a success as it is won't help either, Nintendo is now going to have even more confidence to drop the Switch 1 earlier knowing the Switch 2 is gonna be a smash hit.
