I doubt that Switch can sell 16m mor3 of Nintendo Switch. The Switch 2 (Ounce the name) was leqked by a credible Nintendo leaker to be showcased in January 2025 and being sold at March 2025.

Didnt Jim say like 157 or 160m before he retired as CEO?

Switch can still do it, but personally I dont think it deserves to knock PS2 off the best selling home console. But if it does it then it does it.
PS2 was state of the art. The games etc. To me the Switch isnt quite there
he said 160M. later, one man made a photo in japan office with 160M console.

and now Playstation confirming for the 3rd time.

I wouldn't be surprised if they continue to sell the Switch and will be at an entry level price and have some cross compatibility with Switch 2 for a while to help off set dev costs from a small pool of Switch 2 devices to sell to at the start..

Nobody will buy a Switch if the successor is already confirmed to be backwards compatible. Support will end for Switch sooner than for PS4. Because the Switch is significantly weaker.

I personally think it will be here for a while. I guess we will see how long Nintendo wants it on the market.

why Nintendo should be hurt? it isn't like they are competing in the same home console sector.

it is like to be hurt that mobile can't compete in power against supercomputers. 🤷‍♂️
I agree, but people want to lump it as a home console because it still sold better than the Switch lite..? Thats the last excuse I remember.

Im guessing they ignore that part of the total Switch sales includes the portable only Switch Lite….

I think Nintendo’s normally the type to put all focus on there next console right away. The 3DS existing while Switch did is a rare case for them. Unless they do something different and release another Switch to go along with the Switch 2? Or do a switch mini for $99 lol

the ps2 continued to sell long after the ps3 was a thing, just fyi
Nintendo could very well do the same.
But PS2 was still releasing games when PS3 was a thing. Like God of War 2. And they were selling for like $99 or something.

Maybe Nintendo will still release some cross gen and do the same?

Nintendo would b smarter to focus on there next console to avoid a Wii/Wii U moment and confusion with commercial sales.

All Nintendo needs to do to avoid there usual roller coaster from generation to generation, Dont call it anything silly, Call it Switch 2 or something new? no cross platform launch titles, stop Switch sales and full steam ahead on there next console.
Id love if they have an optional super dock so can enhance the usual games

The PS4 was still in production at least as of 2 years ago outside of Japan, and the PS5 is BC. They were supposed to end production by March of 2023, not sure if they ever stopped?
