all they have to do for the Switch 2 to succeed is to make it backwards compatible and have better hardware than it's predecessor. It will not sell as well at the first switch. They won't have the electric sales boom fueled by the sense of novelty the switch brought. It's not riding off the back of a previous failure like Wii U that made Nintendo fans want to buy it to support what they saw as a struggling company. Switch 2 will sell well and keep Nintendo in the green because it's a better switch but it's not going to be revolutionary.

[BenBoyee]

I dont think the switch will flop, personally, but i think it won't achieve the same heights as the original switch.

[lostvarius]

As long as the games keep coming I don’t give a damn. I liked the Wii U lol

[crobinson]

I think the problem is and always has been that Nintendo fans and video game players in general have a real hard time, managing expectations and for the last two or three years YouTube channels like yours and others I’ve just been feeding the flames of speculation on just what kind of console the Switch 2 will be and how powerful it will be. So Nintendo has an upward battle to fight when it comes to delivering a product that somewhat meets expectations but also they’re able to put together a slate of launch titles that’s going to appeal to the widest margin of people.

[infernal_monkey]

This channel's obsession with trying to compare the Switch/Deck/ROG with the PS Portal will never stop being funny.

A. I can't see a world where the Switch 2 actually flops and doesn't sell enough to be considered a success (though I guess that could be used as a relative term)... B. It BETTER not flop. Hahahaha... I gave my nephew my OG Switch and am waiting for the 2 to get a new one... As long as it is fully backwards compatible, I can't see it being close to a flop.

[Shadow-Joop-]

I think the Switch 2's success will be somewhere between the 3DS and the Switch 1. I don't think it will be more successful than the original Switch, but it will sell absolutely well. Nintendo has all the cards in hand to make the Switch 2 a success.

[zerochill]

The best way to make sure that the Switch successor succeeds is:
●PS4 Pro levels of power
●Make the selling price $399
●Advertise it as a must-have
●Improve the feel of it over Switch

Something to consider is that a lot of people still really like the idea of the Switch, but wish that it was just better hardware. If Nintendo shows up with the Switch successor and it improves on every hardware aspect, it's legit just good enough as a successor to warrant buying

[HackySmack]

The hybrid thing is not impressive anymore. Every single handheld on the market now does that... its a standard across the industry. Look at the rog ally, steam deck, legion go exc

[deveshdalmia]

Switch 2 WILL NOT be as successful as Switch, in fact you’ll be lucky to even hit 100 million. The audience was and is casual, and since the original switch works well, they won’t need a switch 2!

[Fonz]

If the Switch 2 flops then Nintendo will start giving us a better value. Maybe Nintendo will bring back virtual console. Maybe Nintendo selects returns. We win.

[spencerklein]

Let's not think about it please. We don't want another Wii-Wii U scenario. Honestly, I just hope that the Switch 2 is backwards-compatible with Switch 1 games and able to transfer data and my NSO account to it

[marioandsonicanimations]

Remember how we all thought the Switch would fail? Oh boy were we wrong...

[sonicjhiq]

With the gameboy to gameboy advance comparison, it's not really the same as the rest of them since the gb was on market for 12 years and was grouped with the gbc before it got replaced while the gba got replaced by the ds 3 years after it released

[TheAufziehvogel]

Seems like GameXplain is stuck in the summer drought when they have to put out content like this.

[Deraphim]

I for sure am not buying one at launch. I overbought way too much on Switch, and then I got a Steam deck and started using Steam again. I have more than I could possibly play already. (But backwards compatibility would go a long way)

I don’t think it’s going to be a bad device, but I have every reason to delay until there’s a bundle or a must play game or something

[SkysWeirdProductions]

The switch 2 will fail because Nintendo took all their exclusive games, and downscaled, cut corners, and produced 80 ~ 100 dollar games with poor performance. No one is going to be able to afford games for a new switch console that may have very little performance benefits over the original console.The switch 2 will have no games, and if they will they'll be worth a fifth of the console itself.

[LucasGnagy]

Of course it’s Joey behind a negative video 🙄

[joffam]

It could definitely fail. Depends on how greedy they are and if they deliver on the games department. Also, it would be nice if they listened, like make online play free, provide themes, and a glow up for eshop. An option to buy various games on NSO would be nice. Ngl, I want a discount on switch 2 since both my joycons drift.

[setsers]

Then It Will Be Nintendo's Fault.
