I wonder if Nintendo needs to make some PR soon because investors will likely start thinking Switch 2 sales is failing off a cliff if they follow sales information. And among online gamers, Switch 2 will soon get a reputation that its only selling good in Japan. Online grifters will have ample opportunity to make ever more youtube videos about Switch 2 failing hard which will solidify those views even more. So Nintendo is in the process of losing the narrative of Switch 2 being succesful, which can be hard to recover from. |
Only among investors/people that don't know what they're talking about. Switch 1 sold 1.7m in its first November. Switch 2 should easily match or beat that. Even though PS5 is on track to possibly sell 4m worldwide. Switch 2 selling around 2m is a perfectly good result for its first November.
The only thing that's making some people take a step back, is that Switch 2 so far has been outselling the Switch 1 launch aligned 2:1 basically, but they were never going to maintain that. Sales in November will be much closer to Switch 1's sales in its first November, which is not a problem.
