Nintendo Switch Not Just a Second Console Gaming Platform

The predictions on the success of Nintendo’s (TYO:7974) newest game platform, the Nintendo Switch, have varied over the last six months. According to interactive media and digital gaming research firm SuperData Research, Nintendo took a big hit on console sales of Wii U in 2012 when it sold only 15 million copies and reaped criticism from investors. Despite that, Takashi Mochizuki, a Wall Street Journal technology reporter stationed in Tokyo, tweeted in October that Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima expected two million units to be shipped within the first month of Nintendo Switch’s release in March 2017.
