Seems like we won't see a 1 million week from Switch holiday '17, which is fine because we should get plenty this year.

it depends how much people want the product. 250 was just too expensive for 3ds, 199$ should have been the launch price, its still more likely people will buy the 130$ handheld then 170$ handheld.

I still dont understand what point you are getting at.

my point is 3DS should have been 199$, it like xbone launching at 500$ companies trying to take advantage of early adopters. 3ds with that tech at 249$ was not a realistic price. switch sales will also start falling hard next year at 299$ and nintedo will have to drop the price 249.99$

Why is that? Christmas week should be the biggest for Switch

So we are back to falling off a cliff?

Nothing suggests Switch sales will start to drop.

Willing to place a bet on it? You win - you're immune to any and all thrashing from the site. My call. You lose, no one is moderated for having a go at you (within reason - but with much more leniency)! Deal?

the first 3 months of 2018 ps4 vs switch? or jan npd vs ps4 2014? Ill take both.

To play devil's advocate, it's looking like the first half of the year could be a massive game drought for Switch, and it has no real system sellers yet confirmed for this year.
