Yikes! NS2 is really struggling against the discounted PS5. I guess their initial 15min FY projection had some rationale behind it… I mean, this is definitely 100% normal behavior for a system in its first year, being that (again) new devices aren’t receiving the same discounts as the five year old system. But for how unprecedented Switch 2 had been up until this point, these results are making me question my expectations for the early life of this system, i.e. not as front-loaded as I had anticipated.

Are we looking at a real chance that this PS5 price cut actually makes the Switch 2 miss its 19M forecast? Sales aren't looking good either in Europe or in the US.

Nintendo shouldn't have raised the forecast before the holiday period, they took a big risk with that and investors will kill them if they fail that forecast.

I don't think it has much to do with ps5. Whether switch 2 hits the 19m target or not just depends on if Nintendo makes it attractive enough to buyers. They have had a very good start and they are sure to have a much stronger Christmas than BF as they usually do. PS and Nintendo continue to have little impact on each others sales. The Switch 1 didn't hurt the PS4, the PS5 didn't hurt the Switch 1 and the Switch 2 wont hurt the PS5, vice-versa.
