I think as long was the Switch 1 remains at it's price point going into the holiday season we may see it sell as much if not more than last year.

Absolutely no chance lol. YoY famitsu comparisons in June have the Switch 1 selling well less than half what it did in 2025, which was Switch 2's launch month.

The price has already risen in Japan, but even without a price rise elsewhere it'll be down in all regions. It's over 9 years old, it's not going to suddenly bounce back.

And although Nintendo's forecasts are famously bad, they are forecasting shipments less than half of what they did last year.

I wasn't talking about the full year for Switch 1 sales. I was just talking about the holidays (November and December), I think the Switch will obviously sell less for the year than last, but I think holiday sales will be about the same just because of it's price, so it's a much easier gift.
