From its launch in March to today, Switch's reception among gamers is being brilliant, and console demand forces Nintendo to actively increase production. For those wondering "how far will it go?", Analyst Keiichi Yoneshima of financial services firm Credit Suisse has one answer: according to his predictions, he would be able to accumulate 130 million units sold by 2022.
"Although Switch is now labeled as a desktop console, we believe it will be sold as a handheld console. In fact, according to Famitsu surveys, many users already use it as a laptop, "explains the analyst. "Now that it looks like Switch will be sold as a laptop, we have updated our forecasts to reflect a longer cycle. We expect Switch to reach its peak of sales about five years after its launch, as the typical portable device. "
It seems that the flexibility of Nintendo Switch as a console allows Nintendo to exploit it in terms of advertising to new limits beyond what we are accustomed to seeing today. Comparatively speaking, Nintendo 3DS - the latest laptop from Nintendo - accumulates 67 million units sold.
