The Nintendo Switch is doing very well. How well? According to industry analyst Mat Piscatella and data from the NPD, it's on pace to outsell the Wii's first 10-month sales by 20%.
According to Piscatella, the Switch could even exceed this figure and beat out the Wii's massive 101 million in lifetime sales, mostly because of the fact that it's a hybrid, and families could be keen on "multi-ownership." Piscatella states that if Pokemon comes out next year on the Switch somehow, it could have roughly 40% or more of the hardware market.
I doubt that we'll get Pokemon that early, but then again, Nintendo seems to really want to frontload the system and woo potential investors and developers right now. I mean we have a mainline Zelda and a mainline 3D Mario already jockeying for Game of the Year wins from just about every outlet on the planet -- so I'd say it was a good year.
