If Nintendo are forecasting 21.5 million sales in the next year there isn't a cat in hell's chance that the successor is launching in under a year with Breath of the Wild 2.
@johnvboy That was my feeling. Had the new model been more of a Pro style performance upgrade then I could see them selling side by side, but OLED model feels like a replacement to me.
@westman98 nice chart. Interesting that at this stage the Wii only went on to sell another 14 million - must have started to plateau at this point in its life. Judging by current Switch sales it could go on to beat it by some margin.
Will stick my neck out and guess at 125-130 million. Could be completely wrong of course, not really tried to plot it out.
@LeighDapa To say it won't beat the DS seems reasonable (I agree with you), but surprised you think it might not catch the Wii (or finish there about). 12 million more to catch the Wii, would have thought it was nailed on to do that.
@Ludovsky Thanks. Sounds logical. £279 and £309 looked to close a price point to maintain both, also I think it makes sense to keep the "family" small to avoid confusion. Perhaps then we will see something similar soon with the Switch Lite OLED.
I would love to see it break that record, but 154 million is still a big ask. How many DS' had been sold at this stage of its lifecycle? Would be interested to know.

Re: Here Are The Top Ten Best-Selling Nintendo Switch Games As Of September 2021

Re: Japanese Charts: Metroid Dread Slips Down To Second, Switch OLED Leads Hardware Listings
@The-Chosen-one That's what I thought. Guess someone must have some old stock to get rid of. Love that old system ❤️

Re: Round Up: Here Are The First "Hands-On" Impressions Of The Nintendo Switch OLED
@g_ruz I don't think it is any less portable. They made the bezel smaller so they could squeeze the bigger screen into the same size device.

Re: After Months Of 'Switch Pro' Rumours, Nintendo Officially Unveils The Nintendo Switch OLED Model
Is the original Switch being discontinued or selling along side this?

I would love to see it break that record, but 154 million is still a big ask. How many DS' had been sold at this stage of its lifecycle? Would be interested to know.
Re: Nintendo E3 2021 Direct To Air 15th June
Anyone else want Pilotwings?
Re: Anniversary: Nintendo 3DS Launched Ten Years Ago Today In Europe
Didn't get my New 2ds XL until the Switch launched. Love it and still play. It introduced me to Fire Emblem - epic.
Re: Japanese Charts: Super Mario 3D World Stays Top As Switch Takes Entire Top Ten
How is 2DS outselling Xbox Series X/S after 10 years on the market? Do Microsoft not pursue Japan as a market or is it just really unpopular?
Re: Anniversary: Can You Believe It? The Nintendo 3DS Is Now 10 Years Old
Would like to see it creep past 76 million.
