    I think the Switch was a fluke, great console though.

    The Switch is objectively Nintendo’s peak. It was a perfect storm for the console so I mean yeah I doubt Nintendo will be able to replicate the success of the Switch for Switch 2… and that’s fine. To expect Nintendo to have lightning strike twice would be unrealistic

    All rumors are pointing to a man good console with plenty of support and a decently powerful system

    Switch 2 will be special fr

    I definitely think this is the most reasonable way to look at the Switch 2.

    It’ll still be EXTREMELY successful…. But to think it’ll do as well as Switch 1 is crazy

    We are in the objective peak of Nintendo. To think they can beat that would be silly

    100%. I really hope Switch takes that top spot away from the PS2

    Switch deserves it

    Switch is like 17-18 million away. Totally doable. I’m thinking by like 2026 latest

    ds to 3ds drop has everything to do with the bad launch that 3ds has.

    It was expensive and had no games. They dropped the price permanently within a few months. It was that bad.

    Switch 2 is poised to be a premium product and if Nintendo comes out with a good launch lineup I think it'll do just as well. Prime 4 and Mario Kart 9 at launch would be game over.

    i'm a switch stan but i will never get the obsession with that switch vs. ps2 race

    it's just an unfair one imo, the switch is cheating by being a hybrid console, the handheld aspect makes it way more accessible than pure home consoles and (nintendo) handhelds usually sell well

    especially with Switch Lite sales being included in the total number lmao

    At the same time tho a lot of people bought the PS2 solely cause it was a cheap DVD player

    But hip it’s not really that big of a deal, it’d just be cool to see a king dethroned

    If you want to see It that way, ps2 was cheating by having a lot more price drops and being also the cheapest DVD player in the market at the time. Switch still doesnt have an official price drop and has a lot more competition. Itd be impressive more than anything, and its cool to see something break records

    That’s fair, I didn’t consider that.

    3DS had a bad start and then recovered which lead to GREAT sales overall by the end, but lost big time in the beginning

    All rumors of Switch 2 point to Nintendo having a successful next gen launch

    I’m just nervous that Nintendo might not land this transition and half ass with giving us a more powerful console lol

    Need Nintendo to DELIVER

    If anything, the PS2 cheated. At the time, it was one of the cheapest “DVD players” so a lot just bought to have that and playing video games was a bonus. Trust me, I lived through that Gen and the PS2 was 1000% my DVD player that I used for so long lol

    It was actually tougher for Switch to get where it’s at cus it was ONLY a video game machine. No one uses the Switch to stream on Hulu or YouTube lol

    PS5 and Xbox Series are media machines, Switch is ONLY video games. People buying your console for just video games is objectively better

    I mean look at Nintendo’s old console peak, the Wii

    It sold a lot but it was superficial. People bought it but played Wii Sports then put it in the closet and never touch it. It was very trendy and didn’t sell as much software as it should of

    The Switch is not only selling consoles, but selling GAMES. People are buying multiples of games. They aren’t buying one game and putting their Switch in a drawer somewhere

    I’ve seen so many people I wouldn’t have ever expected to play video games, buy the Switch and post on social media different and multiples of games they’re buying and playing

    You may have a favorite Nintendo console that’s not the Switch, but objectively? The Switch is Nintendo’s OBJECTIVE peak

    Nintendo gotta hire you and @maxxing at some point. You guys are their biggest cheerleaders, in a good way.

    Yeah you and @Stardust also, Nintendo loyalists to the end.

    If Nintendo ends up carrying the industry like the 80s again with the Switch 2 they are the undisputed champions of video games.
