The Nintendo Switch is another piece of evidence, the latest so far Nintendo is very clear about its role, the importance of differentiating yourself from the competition and the value of knowing how to build your very, very own identity, especially since its main rivals are Sony and Microsoft. While the latter two compete for the best graphics and the highest performance, the big N separates itself from this competition and focuses on its exclusive sagas and designs that deviate from the classic ways of playing.

Your bets are not always successful. For example, we all remember the poor performance that the Wii U had in the market, and it is also true that its profile in terms of intellectual property protection is much more aggressive than one would like. However, none of this detracts from the value of her proposal, and the company’s followers are responding. And of course that translates into what all companies are ultimately looking for: very good numbers.

In this context The Nintendo Switch was a success. A commercial and critical success by professionals and gamers alike. We have been waiting a long time for its successor, which, according to the latest information, could reach the market this year. Recall that the original model went on sale in 2017, that is seven years ago, although it is true that Nintendo expanded the range with a Lite model in 2019, then an OLED model in 2021.

So there are reasons to wait until this year for the debut of the new generation, but now we’ve found another one that could delay it, the The Nintendo Switch is set to overtake the PlayStation 2 as the best-selling console of all time. As we read in Techspot, 139.36 million units were sold at the end of 2023, which is another 15 million units sold away from reaching the mythical 150 million PS2 sold by Sony. And Nintendo seems pretty confident about hitting and exceeding that number, to the point that it revised its console sales forecasts upwards.

However, and this is why I hinted earlier, if the Switch 2 goes on sale in the early months of this year, This could negatively affect the chances of getting the record., although it is true that Nintendo aims to keep both consoles on the market. Now, regardless of whether it manages to reach this milestone in which it competes with many of the best consoles in history, the Nintendo Switch has certainly written a success story and deserves and will deserve to be remembered for a long time as an example of a job well done work.
