Re: Talking Point: As Lifetime Switch Sales Jostle With The Mighty Wii, Can It Possibly Catch DS?

It depends. Does Nintendo like money? Did Nintendo just pour massive amounts of money into extending Switch's games output for an additional 3 or 4 years? Has Nintendo held the usual sales-juicing cards closely to their chest, like price cuts, bundles, and pretty colors/limited editions? If you (wisely) answered yes to all those questions, then you have to know the historic positions of the PS2 and DS are in jeopardy.

I think fate has put Nintendo in a most envious position in the video game sector. Fate has given them time to let portable technologies mature and evolve. They can ride the Switch and the OLED out another three years before revealing their next console. The chip shortage has made the PS5 and the Xbox Series X objects of myth, and while it has also hindered Switch production, Nintendo was not in a position where they were trying to establish a new player base.
