Nice concept.
I think Xbox Series vs Wii U in Japan is gonna be extremely rough to say the least.
If I were to guess right now I honestly think it will fall 2 million short give or take (so not quite beating 360 either).

I think Switch will beat DS in Japan by about a million, and beat DS globally by roughly 5 million, give or take a few million.
PS5 should easily beat PS3 globally, but I think it'll fall 5-15 million short of PS4 (so I'd say minimum it passes PS1).
XBS I think will end up doing around what 360 did globally and in Japan.

Nice charts!

Love seeing these kind of threads!

Switch should beat DS in Japan by 3+ million and I suspect it will beat it worldwide by 5+

I will have to assume the Switch will outsell the DS based on this. It does have some catching up to do but it's not going to completely die in 1.5 years like the DS did (end of production I assume)? Probably end up with the Switch 5-10M ahead I'd say.



Qwark on 21 September 2022

Switch should be able to easily defeat the DS if Nintendo keeps it alive long enough. The Switch can easily last to 2025. It still sells 300k a week and will have a massive holiday this year unlike it's rivals which will be very much supply constraint during that time. Especially PS5. So having a easy to produce system with a good flow of software on hand is a great idea. They can release the Switch 2 when supply is less of an issue.



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

It is nice that while we wait for the big fix from JLauro and Talon that Bandorr is able to manually restore deleted posts. For anyone wondering he has to manually do it one post at a time and only works for posts that have been edited.
