A quick google shows that neither the PS2 nor the PS5 reached even a million consoles sold. You are grossely over estimating the financial power to to console cost in India regardless of population. It's still massively a population in poverty without luxary spending power and long work hours even in it's middle classes.
The medium wage in India is still $250 a month. Even the Switch lite cost more than that. Looking further 90% of Indians earn less then that and the middle class in india starts at 500 dollars a month. You are severely over estimating what Indian earn, how many of them earn a decent wage that can buy western products, it's massive unequal. India has neither the middle class population nor culture. Rich Indians have it on the grey market or a Switch 2 brought from abroad. |
Well lets say they buy half of that, 500K. Still pretty good considering Nintendo forecast 2 million worldwide. More than plenty European countries would. |
Yeah, it's not like we're talking about 165m+ here. The Switch is going to be at ~158m shipped by March 31, 2027. Even if the rumored India numbers plus the Indonesia numbers for Switch amount to only 500k total between them, that could mean the difference between passing 160m or failing to.
As long as Switch remains on the market until 2029-2030, it still has a shot.
