Yeah, not during fiscal Q3, though. Switch will definitely still sell decently well October-December this year, and keep in mind is very, very likely to outpace 3DS's sales post-Switch launch. Sales don't slow down *that* much the same year a successor launches. Different audience, looking for different things this late in the cycle. This is not new information. Console cycles have been a thing since the 1980s, there's a lot of data to substantiate this that you can go back and look at.That last 6 million it needs can be hard when it's sales slow down to 1 million or less per quarter because of switch 2
Contemporarily, just looking at 3DS sales in 2017 and 2018, it sold over 7 million the same year the Switch launched, and 6 million in 2018. Sales didn't fall off a cliff until 2019, once Switch was firmly established.
