I also remember people declaring the Switch "dead" because it was only selling around 20k a week. What does that say about the Switch 2 when it is selling like this and it is supposed to be in its prime? Did the Switch 2 already peak or will it recover next year? It did have some amazing sales right before the price increase, but sales since have been pathetic.

(i) Right now is obviously not Switch 2’s prime. We’re still hot off a price hike. (ii) Since when was Switch 1 considered “dead” selling nearly 2M in a year?

Feel free to look at the Famitsu threads from last year. It was quite common for people to declare the Switch dead, because it was selling around 20k per week after the Switch 2 released. (Not saying I agree.)

curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
