Switch 2 is a good 1 million lower than I expected, so that's disappointing.

Their forecast was for 19 million by March 31st, you expected them to almost beat that by the end of December?

I expected them to be on track based on the current data.

17.37 million means that Switch 2's first holiday season performed worse than Switch 1's first holiday season and that it may be slightly over tracked - Which suggests that momentum is slowing down for Switch 2 - Not an encouraging sign.

Clearly, a Kirby racing spin-off, a new Hyrule Warriors, and a less-than-glowingly received Metroid Prime, is no substitute for 3D Mario.

Nintendo better deliver on some heavy hitters soon or 2026 may not look too good for Switch 2 in terms of lineup and sales.
