Forums - Sales Discussion - Global Hardware 21st Sept 2019; Switch Lite launch numbers!

Dayum! I feel like the price cut and value bundle that I initially envisioned would not have had this much of a boost. Hope the effects are long lasting!

That's some amazing launch week for the Lite, I'm sitting here re-downloading 400GB of games onto my New Switch V2, not sure what that would be called... the one with the better battery lol, Nintendo are killing it with the switch both in hardware and fantastic software, it's rare to see a week pass without a title on the Switch in the high 80s or into the 90's even on meta. Unifying their games vision from 3DS+WiiU into all the Switch has made for an amazing system for those who are jumping on board with it (EA just dropped an utter turd of a Legacy Fifa2020 on the console which just sold 600k in a week, so good job them) However.... I am going to say one negative to the current boom, actually... it's a sort of 2 for one deal ye can take away from it what you want. All of their eggs are in one basket (a basket based on an Nvidia shield which was not new hardware when Nintendo put their logo and breath of the wild on it) and also... when you're riding so high like this, there is but one way to go. (it is rarely further up).

Phenomenal week though, I mean when you hear about a few cases of people having issues with their Switch lite's coming out of the box it kinda sets minds at ease when you consider that even if 1000 of them came out of the box and exploded into tiny shards of metal and plastic... it would still be a failure rate of 0.2% of the systems, which is well in line with industry norms, it would actually be a fantastic low amount of them dying on launch.

Now..... I'm gonna get back to trying to bend a paper clip for my OG Switch.... for no reason what so ever.



Why not check me out on youtube and help me on the way to 2k subs over at www.youtube.com/stormcloudlive

If Nintendo plays their cards right and stocks & markets the Switch Lite properly, we could be looking at monstrous holiday sales. The biggest we've seen since the Wii and DS were at their peak. It might even come close to matching those levels or actually match them.
Or I could just be getting a little too excited and setting my expectations very high.

If Ring Fit Adventure takes off, The Switch will be bigger than peak Wii during the holidays.

The yellow and blue horse are Lite and the red horse is Switch. The competition is nowhere to be seen at this point, in this race.

I think if you listen closely to the picture you can hear the sound of a shot going off in the background followed by the X1 shut down noise.

Nah, Xbox just has already been lapped. Twice. In one single round.
