The Nintendo Switch has been wildly successful, but one analyst believes that the Turn 2 they may not reach the same height.
At the time of writing, the original Nintendo Switch has sold around 146 million units, making it the third best-selling console of all time, just eight million behind the second-placed Nintendo DS, and 14 million behind the PS2 first. . With the Switch 2 now officially announcedit is unlikely that the OG Switch will take the top spot, although it has obviously cemented itself as one of the best selling consoles of all time, even if it goes one way or another too. So, there are obviously high expectations for its successor, and one analyst believes that there is a chance that the Switch 2 will not perform as well as the original.

Talking to Radar gamesMat Piscatella of the market research company Circana said that “Switch 2 can (and I expect it) to be very successful. But I also don't expect it to reach Switch. It's hard to predict for an outsider. , but it's not impossible.” He went on to say that it's “great that it looks like a bigger and more powerful Switch. Awesome. Exactly what people wanted and expected. to attract an audience beyond the original Switch customers.”
This initial trailer for the Switch 2 pretty much just shows that it's bigger and has a new Mario Kart, which isn't a bad thing at all, but it's obviously not just a console seller. it is “There are probably more revelations that no one thought of and haven't gotten out in some way,” Piscatella said. “It looks like we'll have to wait until the Direct for that.”
I'm sure that even if the Switch 2 doesn't do the Switch 1 numbers, it will do pretty well, especially since a Nintendo console is the only way to play Nintendo games. We'll have to wait and see what Direct has in store for us.
