The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch

Hopefully if the Switch manages to get within a single million reach, Nintendo would consider trying to push it past the PS2. Though I don't think they care much about the race for #1, it's still a nice thing to brag about for a company and maybe worth the extra efforts (bundles, price cut, etc.).

If the Switch get to 159M or something like that, by that time switch will sell very poorly, and will probably do 500k to 1M for the given year. Which means that 1M more will be very hard. It will mean they will need to do some bundles, pricecuts and sell it for at least 2 years more (since each year is a drop in sales) and that means they will need to leave it on the market until around 2030. (which by the way will contradicts with the opinion of some people how Switch is way ahead of the PS2 for it's 8-9 years, and they compare it with how one competitor did something in a lot less time than other, since by 2030 Switch will be what PS2 was in 2013 - 13 years old, so if 160M are reached then it will be esentially the same result, 160M in 13 years).

Nintendo could easily get it over 160 if they even lifted a finger to do so. Youre assuming if they had it on the market until 2030 and they conducted business as usual then it might have a hard time getting there. Id agree that seems to be the case, but if they continued to market it and cut the price like how sony did with the ps2 then theyd have no issue crossing 160. Itd be easy.
