The Nintendo Switch Lifetime in the US, How Much Will It Be?

Himura Kenshin said:
How much does it sell in the US a year on average? 54 million sounds very doable from where I'm sitting, but I need that number for context.

Really rough.

2017 4.9M
2018 5.6M
2019 6.5M
2020 9.0M
2021 5.3M (Nov/Dec to come should land inside 8-9M total short of a Dec surge; less sure about the 5.3M as we haven't gotten a lot of leaks this year)

Do you have Ps4 for comparison, I think 2019 was the highest of the entire generation before 2020 for NSW
 
The switch in 2018 matched the PS4 best year. Yeah Nintendo Switch dominates America.
 
The current Switch family model will likely fall on +45 millions.

Honestly this all depends on when next hardware model will be released and how Nintendo will market it.

+7 next year and +3 in 2023 if dane arrives at late 2022.

And of course, stock productions.

45M is the floor. It should be sitting at around 34M by year's end. If shortages aren't too bad and it's not replaced until 2024, I could see it edging out the PS2, hitting maybe 48-50M.
 
I'm gonna be bold here and say 55+ mio.

The Switch 1 will continue to be alive even after the Switch 2 launched. When the Switch 1 costs 199 or even less, with Switch Light maybe even reaching the 99 Dollar-price tag, that will make for enormous sales well into the next couple years.
 
Was looking if there was a thread that predict Switch hardware life time sales with a poll too. Could not find it.

BUT I found this thread, if Im not wrong, Switch hardware in this region is at 49 millions units.

Maybe it will get the all time record during this Fiscal Year (54+ M) 🤯

Its cool to read the old predictions, looks like Switch overperformed 😀
 
Reading some of these these older posts is funny, feels like regardless of how successful the Switch is it tends to be underestimated lol.
So many of us were expecting it to be more or less dead by 23 meanwhile its celebrating a big comeback thanks to TotK and it doesnt seem like Nintendo is interested in letting up either.

Are you sure about this? I don't think the math works out there. 31M as of I think (not quite sure about the exact month) October 2021. Roughly 34M as of the end of 2021 and at best 7-8M in 2022 puts it at 42M. 49M as of now is impossible.

Switch HW is at exactly 49M as of the most recent fiscal report for the Americas collectively, someone mixed up their numbers.

That makes more sense. Probably 40-41M in the US as of March then.

I predicted "over 45M" earlier in this thread. Now I think it's going to end up around 50M or a bit higher.

Ohhh I was thinking US = Americas in this thread 😵

So what is the record for the Americas region? I assume is the DS 👀

EDIT: DS did almost 60M in the Americas, Switch should do more probably 😀
