Switch 2's main issues this year is the potentially mediocre lineup and the likely price increase.
From the actions and comments made by Sony and Nintendo, the implications are that Switch 2 will be getting a price hike and PS5 won't. Switch 2 should/may be able to beat PS5 (and Switch 2018) until October. But November-December may see PS5 and Switch 2018 dominate.
In Nov/Dec 2018, the Switch got Pokemon LGPE (the console's first Pokemon game) and Super Smash Bros Ultimate. Unless Pokopia continues to really overperform and Nintendo has at least one secret game comparable to the two I mentioned, Nov-Dec may be relatively poor for the Switch 2, especially in the event it gets a price hike.
We know that Sony already reacted ro Trump's tariffs by increasing price and reducing storage, whereas Nintendo didn't, and is instead out there suing the Annoying Orange 🍊. |
Few things here. First I didnt realize there 2018 numbers were tied to their first Switch Pokémon. With the new one being carried over to next year, 2027 may be the breakout year. Also if Nintendo raises prices that would take the energy out of this whole thing... really hoping that doest happen. Tariffs are really muting this whole thing. Hope Nintendo wins the case. But yeah if the price goes up its an auto win for PS5. I expect PS5 to win but I was hoping for something more contentious.
