The Switch staying alive after the successor is released isn't surprising. The 3DS was still receiving support over 2 years after the Switch was released.
Thats cause it was holding up Nintendo...it was carrying all the weight since the Wii U sadly wasn't doing well.
@@ItApproachesNo, it’s quite normal for there to be a grace period between consoles. It’s just that half of Nintendo consoles were failures so there was no need to continue support than hope the new device was successful. While not 2 years, I could see the first year of Switch 2 still getting support. Moreso from 3rd parties, but likely a few 1st parties too. Most won’t immediately jump over, and they’ll likely have a price cut which’ll sell more.
They needed something to fall back on if the Switch flopped too. And 3DS wasn’t competing with the Switch the same way a Switch 2 would, as a direct successor.
@@mrshmuga9 Half of Nintendo systems failed? Virtual Boy, was the only full on failure...Gamecube and Wii U failed but only in what was hoped for, both still made a profit, just not much of one lol. But all their other systems have done well. You want to talk about half a companies systems failing, that applies to Sony and Xbox as well.
I'm thinking it'll kinda be like how the 3DS was to the DS. Which is pretty cool
i like this! the switch and ds both are very experimental and dont have a lot of whimsy in their interface and menus to be easily adjustable to by any audience, which is why i feel like and hope a switch 2 will likely dive into more whimsy, themes, and music like the 3ds did
Kinda wild that we got a Switch 2/June Direct confirmation only for Xbox to come in later and say “this just in-we f**ked up again”
True lol.
And we’re hot off the heels of Sony’s Helldivers 2 controversy.
@@paperluigi6132 _Who’s going to drop the ball next? Stay tuned next week to find out!_
Well Microsoft did come out with news that eclipsed Nintendo announcements.
The same way you can make yourself memorable by shitting your pants in front of your girlfriend's parents.
@@mrshmuga9this just in: capcom has stolen the Mona Lisa
I’m surprised you didn’t mention the BIG factor of next year, MARIO’S 40TH ANIVERSARY
Super Mario bros that old 😂 yo
I feel like for the 40th anniversary in March. They’re probably going to make a 3-D Mario game as a launch title for the switch two if it comes out that month or in April
so that means that super mario bros. 35th anniversary was only in 2020? What the hell it goes so fast.
Soooo.... Switch S is coming at Mar 10
Let's hope it's not as mediocre as the 35th one was.
i think the three biggest key takeaways from this whole new console announcement are these:
1.) it will be a video game console.
2.) it will be made by nintendo.
3.) it will have games.
Impossible.
Oh my god, I never thought I would see the day when a device is released and it has these major details. The fact that it’s a console is crazy, and it’s made by Nintendo, perfect. And on top of all that it’s gonna have GAMES??? I wish this console was released right now because I have never seen anything like this.
4.) It will have controllers.
5.) It will have a home screen.
6.) It will have a digital store.
7.) It will have a start-up.
8.) It will not have themes
Ps2 got that popular for having dvd player and games in one unit.
My friend got one for their parents because it was straight up the cheapest DVD player from a good manufacturer. Can't blame them though, it was a great move.
I’d love to see the Switch become the best selling gaming console ever. That would be a heck on an achievement considering the Wii U flop
I feel like it’s going to happen it’s just a matter of time whether it can somehow move a lot of units within the next year or slowly jugs up there by the end of 2026 (Which would probably be the last year of any additional sales of the system).
I would love to see that but I doubt it with this latest update, by December 2023 there were 139 million, half a year later only 2.5 million more, sales dropped a lot, i was waiting 144 as minimum .
@@zeitok8 earlier in 2023 it was at 130 million before it jumped up to 139 Million by Christmas, so it sold a lot more during the 2nd half than the first half same case here, plus like I said it will probably sale more during 2025 even with a successor overshadowing it and that’s before you take into consideration that they will probably do a massive price drop on the original Switch. So it could still happen just might not be soon.
I feel like a price drop for the Switch is coming soon since the Switch successor has been announced. I think that would raise it's sales by a lot.
Watch them price it at $99 to $150.
Why would one buy soon-to-be-outmoded console like Switch at reduced price when new console comes out?
Should we buy the new console at full price when it is first launched?
@@redblazinghoodpeople like budget gaming
I firmly believe the Switch 1 can actually break 150M units sold. To maximize chances, I say the Switch 2 reveal should be in Q4, so they can get one more big holiday boost in their sales.
A price cut will boost final sales. Revealing the new system wont harm the Switch sales.
A price drop would certainly move more units. The lower the price, the more units will move according to economic fundamentals. It’s just a matter of how much revenue they’re willing to forego to reach that coveted title.
You mean to maximize sales during the all important x-mas holiday shopping season, the Switch reveal should be in January (which is in Nintendo’s final fiscal quarter).
Last time with the WiiU floundering, it didn’t matter to reveal the “NX” prior to the holidays, but this time is very different.
@@mykstericeferg1258that’s what I meant by Q4. Q4 in Nintendo’s fiscal year is January to March.
Also awhile back Nintendo announced that they will be re releasing the super Mario movie in theaters again this June but only at AMC theatres.
It's good to hear that Mario RPGs are selling well.
It shows Nintendo that there is still a public for these games.
Honestly, it’s a time for a price drop.
That will GUARANTEE the sales won’t drop off until the successor launches and will make it surely surpass the PS2.
I get the feeling that the Switch will be Nintendo's longest-supported hardware. They may end up doing what Sony is doing with the PS4. That system is nearing 11 years old and is still getting support. The switch is totally capable of the same thing. Its possible that the Nintendo Online enhancements that the new system will bring can possibly show up on the normal switch too, like new virtual console systems for example. Exciting times my friends.
Nintendo supported the Family Computer for 20 years, releasing in 1983 and discontinuing it in 2003.
If Nintendo was smart, with the announcement of the successor they should lower the price of the Switch, even if only by $50.
True, would be a good way to boost switch sales (and perphaps reach ps2?) before it goes down forever
idk. I know switch had games, but how do we know switch 2 will?
We already know people will buy the new console even if it doesn't have a launch title lol
Honestly I want backwards compatibility preferably with performance improvements more than anything.
not even 2 minutes and the poon bots have already shown up
poon bots?
Who
Comment bots
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 oh
@@Mario31802 basically they take an image of a woman, typically the behind in underwear, and comment something like "Thank you for sharing your passion with the world" or "thank you for talking about the things that matter" and such.
15 million units to go bro!!!! 🔥
Metroid prime 4 will be shown at June direct or a remake of xenoblade chronicles x
0:42 Sales would be better if key 3rd parties didn't screw us on physical releases like you, Konami & Capcom +.
Too much "code in a box" bs really kiils off the need to support s system to many.
Capcom is mostly doing fine on the physical side of things. I got most of their games in a box. I feel like they will pick up the pace even more once Switch 2 is powerful enough to run most of their recent games.
Great vid and recap! Thanks!!
To be honest, I’m not that shocked that a the next consul was confirmed I mean we literally had tons of rumors and tons of people saying it’s gonna happen so it was pretty much expected. I am happy it’s happening. Can’t wait to see what we’re gonna get. Who knows maybe a 3-D Mario game
I feel like 3 million is kinda low for a Mario game on Switch. But Nintendo of America barely advertised it. I saw ads for maybe a week, and then they switched to a general Mario ad that had every Mario game...except RPG. People aren't going to buy it if they don't know it exists.
The Wii was also successful (though not as much as the Switch), but they still failed with its successor. Hopefully they’ve learned from their past mistakes, but there’s no way to know yet.
That's why they are banking on the NSO account system to move over. As long as they keep them active then everything should be smooth.
The year of mario will be big in 2025
So you're saying that Mario Fever is real and that it's hot, but can you say that it's real hot?
The 2023 movie made Luigi hotter, same thing with Peach
You forgot something about the Mario Fever, something Smash-ing😊
i hope it doesnt flop like the wiiu
Hey guys, love your videos!
I know you kind of did it in January, but please make a updated video of a potential game lineup for Nintendo switch 2😀
5 Tips, 5 minutes, 5 Times of Excitement 😊
Nintendo do be stonkin’ w/out any real switches…! Except their own Switch console(s), of course.!.!
Switch Lite is going to become the next Vita post-Switch 2. Modest support for indies and an active community.
I always have Mario Fever
When Genealogy Remake?
where are the pikmin 4 numbers?
Theres still too many switch games in my backlog to move on to a new console 😅
If the rumored Switch Micro comes out it will definitely break PS4’s record.
… something smaller than the Lite?
@@paperluigi6132 Yup! A rumored pocketable revision was rumored last year. If they were to come out with something that is a cross between the gameboy micro and psp I am sure it will sell like hot cakes. Nintendo direct would be a great place to announce it.
Yup! It was rumored last year. A device that is pocketable.
MP4 this year
Pierre485 made a second graph confirming that the total income from 2016 onwards is higher even with inflation accounted for
Did you subtract the negative stocks from the early-2010s?
I'm probably the only one who isn't excited for this cause work and school have kept me from playing my Switch pretty much its entire life.
Good another Joey Video
there WILL be a price drop next year...
My guess is:
OLED: $199.99
LCD: $149.99
Lite: $99.99
If they do THIS, they WILL hit that 155 million AND PROBABLY SURPASS IT!!!
Dear switch successor:
Please do not fail like Wii U did with Wii.
Thank you.
You can tell that Joey is hyped and I like it 🤓✌️
Just how much can they replicate of the Switch?
If I may do a bit of an analogy. Tears of the Kingdom shared a lot with Breath of the WIld and had an impactful launch, but as time has passed. Will that strategy keep working on the long term?
I feel that's a mistake that could affect the next console.
The big elephant in the room being both the sequel of Mario Kart and Smash Bros. Would those game try and likely fail to do the same as 8 Deluxe and Ultimate? Does games took years to get to where they eventually ended, and the launch of any new entry can't reach the level of value those games had.
I do feel they should try to bring something new if anything to mark a stark difference with the Switch while keeping it familiar to it's predecessor. Maybe have a hardware feature to easily bring emulate DS, Wii and 3DS titles. New games could also use those features.
I feel also leveraging their titles by working with more developers to do small spinoffs could maybe bring back in the limelight certain smaller IP like Game and Watch, Ice Climber, or Punch Out.
Next Gen Patches Let's GO!!! 60fps!!!
would luhv another animal crossing as a launch title plz
Keep buying switches people
They aren't going to have a bunch of cross gen games for both Switch and Switch 2 lol. They have never done that. Only 2 games ever were cross gen from Nintendo.
That would be Twilight Princess and Breath of the Wild, yes?
Oh, and Animal Crossing as well, but the GameCube versions were enhanced ports of the N64 original.
@@X2011racer and he claims to be a fan of Nintendo since the NES days 😭
With how most consumers felt the WiiU was just a screen controller add-on and its subsequent dive bombing sales-wise, I would think that Nintendo would be very nervous about trying the strategy of evolving their most successful console again- especially calling it “Switch” as well because average consumers may think it’s simply another Switch upgrade and history could possibly repeat itself.😳
The Gameboy advance and 3DS were evolvwd consoles and did pretty damn well for themselves. Granted, the 3DS had a rocky start but that was purely due to cost and questionable gimmick.
To me the biggest selling point would be if it can offer enhanced performance to already existing switch titles. Upping the resolution and frame rate of base Switch games would be a great way to entice people to go for the upgrade especially given that the performance of some games is... Less than stellar. That way, even if it has a small launch line up there's a huge amount of games that can not only be re-played but in the best possible form. It would also mean we won't get a scenario of filler port games like the WiiU to the switch.
GIVE ME PIKMIN 4 SALES NUMBERS.
3 million.
@@erkantiryaki5542 Wonderful. Miraculous. Splendid.
A PikWIN for the ages!
You know who else this has been a crazy day for? Xbox fans
It's a sad day for Xbox fans
The Switch is STILL alive! At this point, our next console will have to be called the Switch Pro instead of the Switch 2.
nintendo switch never dropped the price, so maybe if they go 200 dlls and let it live 2 more years will be the number 1 from all the times
Nintendo proved they can live just fine without trying to compete with the other consoles. Just keep the games coming.
60 FPS Paper Mario TYD is what would make me buy that game.
Maybe a brand new Nintendo console, last night I had a dream that Nintendo made a 10T console stronger than PlayStation and Xbox and it was called Nintendo Quota
Nintendo is doing thangs
hi GameXplain
I’m pretty sure switch 2 is gonna be, well, as Furukawa said a “switch next model” so it’ll still count as the switch family, therefore, the switch family of systems will become the most successful video game console. Cuz even if it for whatever reason flops (which I hope it doesn’t and don’t see any reason for it to) the hype will surely carry it in terms of sales, enough to surpass DS and PS2
So basically nothing.
1:10 I thought it already surpassed PS2
Saying that the Mario Movie led to people buying Mario games is like saying that the Sonic Movie led to people eating at Olive Garden.
This analogy makes zero sense. Of course, the Mario movie led to more Mario games being sold. It's one of the highest grossing movies of all time.
No it didnt that movie is 🗑 and not canon just like Wonder. Mario ended at Odyssey @SaltyToad00
@@onlygoodgamesofficial I doubt you've even watched it. You probably saw one review and based your entire opinion on that.
@@onlygoodgamesofficial Of course the movie is not canon, it's a movie ADAPATION. It's not supposted to take place in the same universe as it's source material.
Bro, Nintendo themselves said the Super Mario Movie pushed sales of Mario games across the board.
I don't like this announcement, especially the part that says "an ANNOUNCEMENT will be made within the fiscal year". This could mean that only an ANNOUNCEMENT will be made by March 2025, and if the announcement is delayed into Q1 of 2025, then we might not even get the actual switch successor until Q3 or even Q4 of 2025. This is also probably likely as Nintendo (supposedly) still has software for the second half of this year. The reason I say supposedly is because they could just have a bunch of shovelware or just another remake of a big game(which is disappointing). I know it's better to wait for a better product, but because I'm very influenced by the power of systems, it might not even be that better of a product. All we have heard so far about "4K 60fps" and whatnot is all rumors.
Super Mario RPG and Paper Mario: TTYD are remasters not remakes!
They are Remakes, as they are not using the same code as the originals with enhanced graphics.
Super Mario RPG was remade from scratch by the Dragon Quest XI S team.
Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door is remade in the Origami King engine.
This bloke has too much time on his hands
Put GTA5 on there & 1 month later you'll get 10 million 😂😂😂.
Here's another takeaway: Being the highest-selling console means they don't have to try anymore. That means the Switch 2 will be mostly Switch 1 games because you'll buy them again anyway
Here's another takeway: Could you not be nitpicky over Switch just for having re-releases of old games FOR FIVE MINUTES?!
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 Yes. And now that 5 minutes has passed again, I can do it again. But not now. Later. You're welcome
@@knuclear200x Please stop whining over the Switch not having enough original games, you been doing this for months and it's just annoying
@@mariajimenafigueroa233 You said stop doing it for 5 minutes, which I did. Now I'm done. You're welcome
@@knuclear200x What an oxymoron, as you and your lonely left hand stated that the Switch had zero games.
You're just saying that the Switch successor will have no games as well. There's no doubt that you are the guy from Miiverse who trash talked the Wii U.
Mario Movie, Wonder all 🗑 until Martinet is back I'll never play another Mario game
He chose to retire. No one can voice a character forever, buddy.
I understand it's difficult but you weren't supposed to cope like this.

@@RJS2003 I can respect other peoples' opinions, but when you got people like this going "Mario movie and Wonder are trash because Martinet didn't voiced Mario", it's people being childish over unaccepting changesm
Nintendo is the richest company in Japan. The Wii U era wasn't even bad. It was a fantastic system and I still like it better then the Switch. Cause as a system, the Switch is just boring.
Downplaying abject failure, my favourite!
Wii U is obsolete.
@@RJS2003 I did no such thing. I stated objective truth on two products. Wii U was a dedicated game console that had that Nintendo magic. I could write a number of paragraphs on why the Wii U was better, but you wont care. You lack the IQ needed to see your own ignorance.
