Will the Nintendo Switch become the best selling console of all time?

Night mode

@raddad • 72d

If they can make it a little beefier and possibly add a lot of customization like new themes and what not it truly can be a best selling console.

Light mode

@kelseyb • 99d

Probably. I mean, @codyb and I have 4. I can see why people could buy multiples for their household.

Light mode

@darthk815 • 122d

Possibly, I'd say it depends on backwards compatibility with its successor console and any potential price drops as well in the near future! I can definitely see it happening though.

Light mode

@destroythegrave • 122d

Just by a hair I think...maybe at 160 Million...but not by much

Light mode

@buster • 123d

I think maybe eventually. Maybe not this year or next year but it'll probably happen

Light mode

@jpegmario • 123d

I think it will be and it should be!

Light mode

@enderphoenix • 123d

I think it's a given. More sold in less time than the PS2 has been out. Just keep rolling nintendo!

Night mode

@wiifu • 123d

Really depends when and if the switch 2 becomes a thing. I think it’s possible it takes over the ps2. I mean we have 3 in our house

Light mode

@friz • 170d

There are four in my house right now.

Light mode

@mase • 213d

More than likely and it seems households have more than one

Light mode

@calli • 213d

I'd say probably. cheaper than next Gen systems, family friendly, great gameplay.

Light mode

@dennis • 214d

Probably…but it will likely be overtaken by the next Nintendo console.

Light mode

@justsayingsoican • 223d

Yes because it has a bunch of games being updated all the time

Night mode

@nono • 232d

Yeah, it probably can if the PS company just made a new console l that was bad or not so good then maybe.

Night mode

@uxorcist • 270d

I think it could! It has the potential to be purchased more than once per household, and that could be enough to propel it to #1.

Night mode

@malfurious • 280d

Doubtful. It is great, but it has a long way to catch PS2. Hopefully.

Night mode

@skyshark • 291d

Yes.

Light mode

@legodad • 295d

It has potential

Light mode

@damnravi • 299d

Probably but I'm not 100% sure

Night mode

@jackalope • 300d

Everything that has a night mode in my house is on.

Light mode

@falkrons • 301d

Yes, coming from someone who switched back to pc after the 4th gen consoles I've picked up three...no 4 switches for my family. They are powerful enough to play games with decent fidelity and optimize...more

Light mode

@infocynic • 301d

seems like it, unless a switch 2 comes out of nowhere in the next 18 months maybe. even then it still could.

Light mode

@jaimecitoamor • 301d

I think so, but it depends on what else Nintendo has in production.

Light mode

@fl3rk3n • 301d

Because of how many years it's been around and they just keep coming out with newer better versions

Night mode

@jklein8383 • 308d

No chance it beats playstation

Light mode

@badintel • 319d

I think there's a solid chance of this

Night mode

@seenitcoveredit • 430d

Won't ever beat out Playstation imo

Night mode

@buddhastank • 438d

I think it will be a top 3 selling console of all time, as least in the foreseeable future but I don't think it will be number 1. With the addition of being able to play PS or Xbox games on the move, ...more

Light mode

@darthsmeagol • 439d

1) Long history of excellent exclusives. 2) Hybrid nature of console and handheld. 3) No imminent sequel on the horizon. For these reasons, I believe the Switch definitely has the potential to su...more

Light mode

@mjmanges • 439d

Seems poised to be! Great games and wide appeal.

Light mode

@bucket • 439d

You Can Do It!!

Night mode

@daddymang • 439d

Nothing can outsell the PS2, but I certainly hope it becomes NINTENDO's best selling console. It's the smartest one they've ever made by a landslide!

Light mode

@seth • 439d

cuz nintendo can

Night mode

@shartbus • 439d

It's possible, but only if Nintendo leaves it in production long enough for it to happen. Rumor is they're releasing a new console in 2024. Also, Steam Deck sales might put a small dent in their nu...more

Light mode

@geodad • 439d

Don't doubt it for a second. With all the updates and older games it's just a matter of time

Light mode

@codyb • 439d

Yes, Nintendo seems like they want to make it number one. They will probably keep porting older titles to the switch and add a DS/Wii/Gamecube online services when sales need to boost back up.

Night mode

@darkwing • 439d

Possible, but I don't think it will.

Night mode

@curlythemute • 439d

It will be close, but they would have to maintain their current sales for almost another 2 years. And the complaints about it being underpowered are stacking up. Caveat: With a price drop, or new ...more

Light mode

@blazin • 439d

very easy to use. portable cheaper then a console and a pc. can play pretty much every game a console could.

Light mode

@madharryrackham • 439d

Truly one of the most versatile consoles on the market. Unless Nintendo out does themselves and makes something newer/better, I can absolutely see the switch being #1

Light mode

@gongshowdad • 439d

As long as they dont come out with a new console in the next couple years. Switch seems like the go-to for kids getting their first gaming system.

Light mode

@rescuejoe84 • 439d

Hoping the next few announced games will boost sales, but most people that are waiting for the new games already have the system. It's really incalculable...

Light mode

@dadalorian • 439d

Nintendo show no signs of making a new console and they could just make variations (Lite, OLED as examples) to keep up with changes on the same base model.

Light mode

@dosandres • 439d

It all depends with they release a new console. I only think they should release a new one if graphics and frame rates can keep up with Xbox and PS5. If not keep rolling with the Switch. Nintendo foun...more

Light mode

@tootslaroo • 439d

It'll be close but I don't think Nintendo is releasing a new console anytime soon so I think they'll end up best selling of all time.

Night mode

@alden • 439d

Truthfully I don’t know. But it’s a little too mind-blowing to think about.

Light mode

@rey • 439d

They sold 19 million last year, were the best selling system, have BOTW sequel in May, and haven't had the surge that will come whenever they finally lower the price of the system. It's going to happe...more

Night mode

@thunder • 439d

They’re about 50 million behind PS2. That’s about half of what they’ve sold since release. It’ll be close but I don’t see it happening.

Light mode

@dan • 439d

Light mode Nintendo does cheat with this anyway Technically the Game Boy counted everything through the advance I think Not sure how far the "Switch Family of Systems" will be counted, but they sti...more

Light mode

@blockmamba • 439d

I think it will if they don’t release a new system.

Light mode

@trashdoc16 • 439d

As long as Nintendo keeps pumping out games people want (Looking at you F-Zero and Star Fox) then there's no reason it won't become the best selling console ever.

Night mode

@sdnassiff • 439d

I actually hope Nintendo releases a new system (Closer to the gamecube feel) within the next few years.

Light mode

@joob • 439d

Seems like with the remaining big releases including more waves of Kart that it’ll catch up to the PS2

Light mode

@bammonty • 439d

Now here’s the thing I’m not necessarily the biggest Nintendo fan but do like them but if you see the amount of old games from their old consoles there adding to the switch it will make that have ...more

Night mode

@bitzdad • 439d

I wanna say yes, but think it'll come up a little short

Night mode

@nanner • 439d

I still believe the Gamecube will take over

Night mode

@mariomaestro • 439d

I think it’ll come close but it’s too far into it’s lifespan (6 years) to catch the PS2.

Light mode

@whitethunder • 439d

It's pretty much there isn't it?

Light mode

@rusty6713 • 439d

Yes. Graphics aren’t world beaters but overall set up is.

Light mode

@laughatbrian • 439d

Certainly seems like it.

Light mode

@ohtwotwo • 439d

I can’t see where it wouldn’t be with the emulators rolling out games from adults childhoods, new Kart tracks, new variations of the Switch whether custom system or different specs.

Light mode

@zonkedwheat9999 • 439d

It’s certain

Light mode

@themadbombchu • 439d

Go, Nintendo, Go!

Light mode

@froggy • 440d

Yep! Everyone else is producing newer systems more often. Nintendo is just still producing more great games for this older system. It’s inevitable!

Light mode

@jedijohann • 440d

Obviously Nintendo is committed to this system for the foreseeable future.

Light mode

@hrlwesty • 440d

I think the switch is nearing the end of its life cycle. However, the legend of Zelda release should be enough to keep sales strong this year. I think Nintendo will release a new switch soon. Not su...more

@cknbromein • 440d
