As I've said (and holding this level more importantly).

The impact can't be immediate. But when it becomes kind of a normal level of sales (that on the PS5 and XBSX not being on the previous level - beginning of the year for example) then is when the impact will be seen.

See it other way. Switch fell to 300k and under weekly when ? in around april. Then someone said the same, it's only one time, or it's because of this and that. Then what happened ? Switch returned back to 300k 1 or 2 more times and after that Switch fell under 300k permanently for the weeks to come, hovering around 280k.

Now is falling to 260 and it will probably happen the same thing. It will go back up for a week or two to maybe 280k and then will maintaint 260-270k weekly for a while. However because of holidays coming not that far, it will of course give it a boost and probably by october it will be back to 300k weekly.

The next year is the next time we will see the normal weekly numbers for the system (when not in holiday) - when I expect the sales to fell under 250k weekly.

Well guess what? It is taking impact from that too.

Yes, and ?

I've said nothing about that, just that it's level is dropping.

I am not saying anything for it's peak. And everyone knows it's past it's peak for more than 1 year now. I don't understand your argument. And why you jump everytime for switch when some word is said for it other than " it will be the best selling system ever ".

I mean you are jumping everywhere to defend the switch. And I don't know what there is to agree or disagree. I just said that it's slowing down.

You disagree with me that switch is slowing down ? from above 300k weekly to 260k weekly for a few months. Okay.

The next year is the next time we will see the normal weekly numbers for the system (when not in holiday) - when I expect the sales to fell under 250k weekly.

My predictions for 2023 for the switch (calendar year) were anywhere between 12 and 16M range. (depending on whether there will be announcement for new model/console or price cut, or both.)

As for my post, I am not saying that they will be little under 250k for the whole year. I expect to start selling 250k weekly and under it in january/february. But by the summer or september I expect it can hit low numbers around 200K weekly. Also I don't think that the holiday for 2023 calendar year will be so strong - 8.5M.

With seeing the few last holidays, how they degrade holiday after holiday I expect around 8M this year for the holiday period and for the next (depends on what happens of course - price cut/ new model or new consoles announcement) I expect the holiday to be weaker than this (well if they throw pricecut or new models then it may again be 8 to 10M but I doubt that will happen).

As for surpassing numbers you don't need to worry about the year's number for the PS2 but it's long legs. Also the DS fiscal year that is corresponding with the 2023 or should I say calendar year (because I am not sure for the exact number of the FY) was 9M so yeah Switch will surpass it but not by a huge margin. Something like 3-4-5M. Again I doubt that Nintendo will release new model (that will be surprising such as Pro model - otherwise there wouldn't be big impact on sales) or will make price cut. More likely they can announce the next console which will impact sales of the Switch. But we will wait and see.
