There is a chance it could. Assuming the Switch has a slow decline from now until it’s successor launches (2024-2025), it should have a decent chance of passing the DS and PS2. If the Switch has a sharp decline or it’s successor is released 2023, then it will be almost impossible for it to pass the DS and the PS2. If the Switch would surpass the DS / PS2, it will probably happen late 2024 - mid 2025. In terms of software sales, the Switch should pass the DS, PS3 and Xbox 360 software lifetime. To reach the PS2 and PS4, it would require lots of games released even after its successor launches and some very strong legs considering the lifetime sales of those 2 systems are 1.5 - 1.6 billion units of software shipped. The Switch is currently around 863 million units of software shipped meaning that it is still a long way off those 2 systems. If the Switch were to pass the PS2 / PS4, it will probably happen 2027 - 2029 however it is very likely it will fall just short. In conclusion, the Switch has a higher chance of surpassing the PS2 / DS in hardware than surpassing the PS2 / PS4 in software however neither have a certain nor impossible chance of either event occurring. What are your predictions for the Switch’s lifetime hardware and software sales?

@CharismaKid92 well ig cellphones weren’t a common thing in 2004 so the idea of it was new for its time

Ps2 did well cuz it done DVD player + console

@CharismaKid92 it was cheap and had a ton of games, plus easy to pirate games.

Yes the switch will pass the Game Boy and PS4 Based on VGChartz latest estimate, the switch is at 113.81 million, so it will due to the holidays coming up We’ll have to see about the ds and ps2

Both companies are the most influential in the video game industry. Sure, Atari (in the very early days), SEGA and Microsoft also have left big marks in the industry but both Sony and Nintendo have shaped the market since the late 80s. Now which one is better is up for personal taste more than anything. Imo, Nintendo for portability and Sony for home consoles.

The DS likely would’ve passed the PS2 if the 3DS released later. The DS still had momentum but the release of the 3DS killed it

@@adamsrankings8860 yeah agreed

980*

Yeah one of my favorite parts of these videos is the music

Same

Why does it matter

Xbox one is still awesome amazing system console

Source ?

@@Kbxbigbro808yes but they stopped shipping in 2020 which is what nintendos website goes off of

I loved my WII U

I still love my wii u The console had some great games Memories

I love all those consoles, but even more underrated than the Wii U is the Dreamcast. It was originally going to have GTA III and Half-life II, but PS2 took them. Also, the fail of the saturn and 32X made many people not care for sega as much anymore. #justicefordreamcast

In North America the 360 destroyed the PS3 and slightly beat the Wii (49M 29M 45M). It was the rest of the world where Xbox didn’t do well

@@adamsrankings8860 that explains it then

Xbox exited several Southeast Asian markets because they couldn't deal with the high piracy rates, so they decided they just won't bother to sell in those areas, even though it has a large population.

Let's hope that xbox will won this generation

In 2 months it will

The Switch already outselling ps4

Nah

I agree with your points, but you have to recognize that the main draw of the Switch, which is being succesful in being a portable/console hybrid with good cost-benefit, is something that no other console has, just like the Wii managed to sell like water despite its inferior specs and online features, and shovelware-filled library. Both had the right amount of casual appeal and novelty factor, while still having some excellent games and high local-multiplayer appeal.

I understand the switch has a lot of ports but I also understand that the Wii U had a lot of great games people never got to enjoy. That being said Mario kart 9 is long overdue

@@adamsrankings8860 ikr why don't they just put the Wii U games on eShop

i might upload in 2 weeks when nintendo releases their sales

idk just haven’t gotten around to it, might start again in august

@@adamsrankings8860 Oh ok, I hope you will do a video on the best selling games on the switch, because it has evolved a lot since then.

A handheld made by Nintendo lmao

agree the switch is the best

NES is the best

Switch oled Is the best

No, not by a long shot. And I actually don’t think it’s really that opinion based unless you ONLY care about the games on the respective consoles, even then Nintendo is starting to become much more scummy than they used to.

@@id1550 I just like Nintendo games my guy lol

Nope

The switch definitely will PS4 and gameboy I’m not sure about the ps2

Bro what
