165 million+ (PS2 who?) 2 11.11%
 
Total:18

i literally have no idea. NSW2 is not a cheap product and the consumer purchasing power gets weaker every day. Unless Nintendo is planning to lower prices later during the gen (lol), I can only guess >100mil. Hard to get any more precise. (But just for the fun of it, I’ll throw out a number: 120-130mil.)

edit: seems i already posted this two months ago lol. My opinion has wavered a little bit in that I’m not so much thinking it’ll break the 160mil ceiling, but I do see it being a nice success.

It's Nintendo's sequel system, which means less than it's predecessor. 100M - ish [PS4 category]



Should I create a new post-launch poll?



Playing Xenoblade 2 before I buy Xenoblade 3 (otherwise I couldn't wait to play 3).

Can they announce a new Fire Emblem? A remake of Genealogy or Tellius would suffice !

Vote in the new post-launch poll!

Here's a snapshot of how we've voted so far:

In the pre-April Direct poll:

  • 3% voted below 75M
  • 18% voted 75-100M
  • 64% voted in the 100-150M range.
  • 15% voted for over 150M

In the post-April Direct poll:

  • Below 75M vote increased from 3% to 11% (+272%)
  • 75-100M vote decreased from 18% to 11% (-62%)
  • 100-150M vote stayed nearly flat: 64% to 63% (-2%)
  • 150M+ vote also stayed nearly flat: both ~15% (-0.7%)

From pre- to post-April Direct, the percentage of people voting 100-150M and 150M+ hardly changed. It seems the largest shift was people in the 75-100M range dropping down to <75M after the Direct.

Vote in the new poll and weigh in on your expectations following the 3.5M+ 4-day launch! It was record-breaking, but can Switch 2 have legs?
