I never specified that. It will probably not have legs as strong but Switch will definetly peak higher once they start getting Pokémon and animal crossing out. Switch will finish around 15 millions first year. It would be incredibly surprising if it can't push 6 millions more with significant stock, real deals and bundles and massive system seller. They won't ship 25-30 millions switchs next FY for nothing, and it will maybe not be the peak of the console. If it follows a handheld trend of sales, it will have good legs with price cut and etc.

I also don't see Nintendo dropping the system like the Wii (which was hated abd families played less, there was no point supporting it hardcore.) Assuming people don't get over it, Nintendo having only 1 system, if it sells great, they will make it last the longer time possible cause they won't have a backup if the next system, most likely hybrid, fails.

I still can't see the appeal in switch what's making ppl buy?

New concept, best lineup last year, 2 game of the year contenders including the Goty winner...

What's NOT to like is the more important question

These are two fairly big reasons I would reason.

Well thouse two plus splatoon 2 and MK8D.

As for japanese sales, gamers there have been STARVED for a home console that appeals for them. The last one was ps2 and arguably the wii and (somewhat) the ps3. Combine that with japan's insane portable sales (3ds/gba having sales akin to a quarter of the population, the ds a THIRD), and you have a winner.

It's mainly functions as a handheld and that's a strong selling point to some people.

Did Siny run out of consoles is the US,  it does not seen logical that after having won US consistently for seveeal weeks, they would drop so much suddenly.

For now.

So absolut nothing for non nintendo fans?
