The Switch 2 launched in early June and put up massive sales numbers, but it remains to be seen if the system will be a long-term success, according to Circana analyst Mat Piscatella.
Piscatella told The Game Business that “launch sales of hardware doesn’t often correlate to the lifetime sales.” He said there have been systems that have had “incredible early sales” but later fell off, while other systems started slow and became huge hits later.
“It’s just tough right now to come away with any long-term conclusions or projections, although this is a hell of a good early read,” Piscatella said.
