It's that time of year again. We are getting close to the holidays, and it's time to make a prediction about just how well the Switch is going to finish out the whole year. Switch is looking to have another big year, but just how big will it be? Will it be able to surpass last year's amount, or will it fall short?
For reference here is how Switch has done in previous both in annual sales and how they were doing at this point during the year (YTD). I've also included how much they would sell this year if they continued at that same rate. (Numbers come from VGChartz.)
Switch Worldwide Sales (in millions)
YTD | annual | % YTD | 2021 projection | |
2017 | 6.48 | 13.15 | 49.3% | 31.25 |
2018 | 7.54 | 16.34 | 46.1% | 33.37 |
2019 | 9.45 | 19.3 | 49.0% | 31.45 |
2020 | 16.64 | 28.29 | 58.8% | 26.18 |
2021 | 15.4 | ? | ? | ? |
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
