Analyst David Gibson from Macquarie Securities believes that Nintendo’s new Switch console could retail for just $250, and if that’s the case, he believes that the company could sell 10 million units during its first year.
Which wouldn’t be that difficult to achieve: a brand new console with the features the Switch offers for $250? That could easily sell 10 million during the first year.
Gibson estimates that Nintendo will sell 2.5 million units during launch because of a strong launch lineup led by Zelda: Breath of the Wild.
The Switch reveal trailer showed some other Nintendo first party titles, such as a new 3D Mario game, and Splatoon. If the console can launch with those games, it could be the best launch lineup for a Nintendo console in history.
