2 and, more so, how we think it'll perform.

Despite original fanfare during the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, since then, there has been a lot of discourse around the console for varied reasons. Where its the debate on $80 games being the new norm, the controversial game key cards that are physical games but not physical games, or the rumors circulating that Nintendo can brick your console anytime it wants, there's a lot of negative press around what should have been an exciting time for new hardware.

I also must admit that my title was a bit over the top for this one. But onto the main topic at hand, do you expect the Nintendo Switch 2 to do well, flop, or even surpass Switch 1 lifetime sales? It's an interesting topic, as while I did use flop, I don't expect it to go down the route of Wii U. I think Switch 2 will do well regardless if initial pre-orders are anything to go by, and Nintendo already has a strong lineup of games. But perhaps it won't do as well as we, and Nintendo, expect it to?

For me. I think the Switch 2 will do ok. I don't think it'll reach the level of hype that Switch 1 did and sell less than its former console, even with the Switch 2 having backwards compatibility. I think a lot of fans will be put off by the price tag or will wait until an OLED-like model comes out later down the line and then make the plunge into the new system, but I think Switch 2 will need to do something amazing to overtake the Switch 1 numbers.

But enough of me waffling on and speaking all this nonsense, how do you expect the Nintendo Switch 2 to perform in its first year and beyond? Let me know in the comments below, as this debate is rattling my brain.
