It's too early to be certain but you have to remember that the bulk of sales this early in a console's life are usually made up of super core gamers. The casual sales, or mainstream sales, those don't kick in until later. Perhaps the Switch 2 isn't the mainstream darling we thought it was going to be? It's possible. Especially considering how rare it is for a platform to dominate two gens in a row. I think only the PS2 managed to do that. Every other platform either came back down to earth or lost. Or, maybe it's just the price of the thing. We'll have to wait and see. |
Fair. And even though it's tracking well past Switch globally, there's not much of a chance it can sustain that in the long-run.
Will it outsell PS4 and Game Boy/Game Boy Color? Probably. Will it outsell DS? I don't think so.

Switch: 161 million (was 73 million, then 96 million, then 113 million, then 125 million, then 144 million, then 151 million, then 156 million)

Switch 2: 120 million (was 116 million)
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)
