| OdinHades said: I don't see Nintendo decreasing the quite high price tag for the Switch 2 any time soon, if ever. Which is why I firmly believe they will keep the Switch 1 around as the budget option for quite some time. Enough to make it pass 160m eventually. The Switch 1 is still a great gaming machine after all. I can see a lot of people still wanting to get one even a few years from now. It will still be able to play all the classics and a whole lot of indie titles with simple graphics. Which is why I think it will sell better in the future than some people seem to believe. |
I believe Nintendo said they would continue to support the Switch for 3 years after the successor came out. Let's say that asssumes production will continue until June 2028. This matches the 3DS.
At a drop of 60% a year, which is the expected drop-off, we will see Nintendo's 4 million sold by march 2026 for 156.1 odd sold, another 2.6 million by march 2027 158.7 million and 1.5 millions more for march 2028. That would pretty much match the PS2 sales with a few months to go.
I'd say this holiday season will be what really confirms if the NS1will likely pass the PS2.I am ammused it's still out selling the Xbox Series X/S
