I predicted 18 million for the Switch, and was mocked. Not far off. The sales drop actually accelerated for the Switch this year in 2022. Ready for that Switch 2!
13 percent drop followed by a 20 percent drop. I guess there is still 2 more weeks not included yet. Predictions for 2023? A 25 percent drop. <14 million sales. That would bring Nintendo through 2023 so they could launch a new console in 2023 or 2024. 2025 would be a disaster.
