because at this point Mario Kart feels like the GTA of console exclusives in terms of sales
Right. Year 1 it would need over 100% attach rate to match that.Depends on when it launches. I don't think it will beat Tears of the Kingdom's speed to 20 million but it was well surpass those sales in the end.
What's never happened?Nah, I think Switch 2 and all game releases will see a decrease across the board. It won't be much of a decrease though. Like 10%-20%?
It's unrealistic to think they will see growth. It's like never happened.
Growth. Every generation goes down except for 2 spikes, one being WII (attributed to lightning in a bottle, casual blue ocean approach) one being Switch (massive popularity due to merging handheld and console lines, form factor).... It's doubtful that Switch 2 will reach 100% of the numbers that Switch 1 reached.Right. Year 1 it would need over 100% attach rate to match that.

We'll seeIn terms of hype, it won't. Mario Kart is amazing, but its new installments don't have the novelty and cutting-edge factor new entries from franchises like Mario and Zelda do.
It'll be like PS2 to PS3 where the install base is huge, but not like the previous console. (PS2 160 Mil and PS3 87 Mil)Idk just feels like videogames hit a certain high around 130-150 mil and will never reach like 200 mil. The industry doesn't grow beyond that ceiling it just fluctuates.
I seriously doubt Switch 2 will hit Switch 1 numbers. It'll be close though. It's just natural to assume that not everyone that bought a Switch will be buying a Switch 2. Natural dropoff.
Crazy forum bubble here,In terms of hype, it won't. Mario Kart is amazing, but its new installments don't have the novelty and cutting-edge factor new entries from franchises like Mario and Zelda do.
Wording it differently, Switch 2 will have an uphill battle in trying to sell as much as its predecessor, which is currently the third best selling console of all time, and still in the running for taking first placeIt's just natural to assume that not everyone that bought a Switch will be buying a Switch 2
