Nintendo Quarterly Sales Update: Switch 2 at 10.36m, Switch 1 at 154.01m

[PAOerfulone]

The only explanation I can come up with for Switch 1 downward revision is that Nintendo is shifting that much more resources and costs towards ramping up Switch 2 production as much as possible. Otherwise, it just doesn't make sense that they would revise the Switch DOWN just before the holiday season when it's getting a Pokemon and Metroid game released on it.

It is clear now that they are not going to put much effort into chasing 160m and catching the PS2 - A shame, really. Because if they did and they continued to adequately support Switch 1, it can catch it easily.

But it is evident that they are quickly moving on to Switch 2 and trying to produce as much supply as they can to meet the massive demand. Which is the right thing to do business-wise - Support your new system that’s going to carry and drive your business in the next decade rather than clinging to your old one from last decade.

But man, I really wanted to see history be made - It could still happen, but it is not looking good.
