| XtremeBG said: I won't get into the many points that were written by you, and from anyone else in answer to you (with which I agree by the way), but only ask you 1 question. What will you say, and what will your side become, in the scenario where Nintendo keep selling Switch till 2030 (equaling market time to this of the PS2 - 13 years), but Switch keep selling low amounts and end up at 159M in 2030, and then it's discontinued. Then the primary point you make of the longevity won't be valid, since it will be the same period of 13 years for both and PS2 will have done 1M+ more, and even the average number per year will be slightly bigger for the PS2 ? |
If Nintendo sells the Switch 1 through 2030, it will break 159 million, that's not just me saying that most people on this board would probably agree with that.
That's not even factoring in Sony needed not only the extra 4 years+ but the system was massively discounted by that point to get to 160. Put the Switch 1 in similar situation and it would cross 160 with ease. I don't even know what the argument would be against that, it wouldn't be rooted in any kind of reality. Even give the Switch one measly price cut, just one single price drop and the same amount of time as the PS2 got and it would easily beat 160 million.
