Even if the Switch gets some very compelling software over the next 18 months, I think it would be rather hard to sell an additional 45 Million units.
Unless Nintendo tweets about it, we will only hear about XC 3 official sales in late October/early November.
Probably not but it might get pretty close. However the software library is heading that way as in the wierdest games get to be released because devs want them regardless of how much they might sell, making it just like the DS in that respect it's the one thing i loved about the DS era so many obscure fun games hidden away. The library on switch is insane especially if you plunder all regions. Even smaller indie titles make seriously good sales on switch because the install base is so vast which is why so many 3rd party games get released on switch now. I give zero shits about graphical power i want fun & unusual arcade style games, shmups, rhythm games and much more. Something next gen hasn't been able to provide me so i won't be joining till they do. PSVR2 will make me fold eventually as those games tend to go in VR just like what made me cave in & get a PS4.
Still good but it has hit its peak and is at the usual decline for the life cycle. Sharp decline next year will follow.Bar charts for hardware and Software
I doubt it, hardware is down YOY and those legs are probably going to get chopped off soon from a certain something on the horizon.
That's some BS and you know it. Switch has so many good games is ridiculous. Also THE console for jrpgs.
Chicks dig it.
They are not going to drop the OLED price by $150. At best they'll drop OLED to $299 and release the next model at $399
It's already 10 million more than the Wii. Needs another 40 million to pass the DS and 45 million to pass the PS2.
I'd pay $499 for a proper big dick console. Mass market with another L.
With inflation and the chip shortage, I can't see them releasing the next model at $299 when the OLED is already selling well at $349. The next model will be priced higher than the OLED and there's no reason to give OLED such a huge price cut.
Yes, there are also 111 milllions more that haven't turned their's on since BotW, either! You're not just a barometer: you're scientific LAW, my friend!
I think we get a new model by the end of next year, but whether it's a successor or a revision I don't know .
what would you define as a successor and what would be a revision?
PS2 sold 24m consoles in the last 3 years of its life while barely selling any software. It was quite the special case. That $99 price point made it attractive even for non-gamers.
It depends entirely on how Nintendo themselves position it.
I'm not basing my thoughts on privated YouTube videos, I'm basing it on the leak we got from Nvidia and the rumours about the new dev kits.
your experience doesnt matter, you had enough interest to buy. As well many others.
Me too. Got it in lockdown and let it there for ever.
Doesn't work like that anymore. The cost to manufacture even decrepit hardware and components is far too expensive to do the rock bottom price cuts. Additionally, Switch 2 will share many of the same components making them a waste to devote to dead end EoL'ed hardware. PS4 never saw less than $299 for these reasons. If it was at all possible or profitable to have dropped it to $199 or $149 Sony would have done it.
Good grief you say some stupid ass stuff.
I wouldnt call Takashi Mochizuki an "insider" but we know he has contacts in the industry.
2,900,000 copies as for last quarter, best selling Metroid game.
Love it! No doubt Mercurysteam already given the greenlight in the last 9-12 months to make another. So glad to see Metroid making a comeback, and excited to see what Retro's been able to do with their vision for Prime 4. It can't be too much longer, now!
This is even better considering certain individuals are touting that Nintendo games sell on mostalgia alone. BotW proves it to be total bull by being the best selling game in it's 35 year old franchise. And it's not alone.
Okay, you only get them from CESA white paper every 6 months.
That falls into Q2 (1 July to 30 September), you won't get exact numbers until the 1st week of November in 3 months time.
That includes Wii U sales.
Nope, with Wii u Mario kart surpassed 50m.
Nintendo use their old franchise in new ways to get old and new fans. Basically what DC, Marvel, Disney, Hello Kitty and anyone with huge franchises try to do.
There are chances because NSW is going to have stronger tail sales:
