Not everyone likes Michael Pachter but the analyst’s word is often taken very seriously by those in the video games industry. Originally he predicted the Nintendo Switch to fail which wasn’t a surprise at the time due to the Wii U disasters.
Pachter is now suggesting that Nintendo’s latest console will outsell the Xbox One in 2017. With the release of the Xbox One X, this would certainly be disappointing for Microsoft.
“[It will be] close .. I would say Switch could sell as many as 14 million, and if that happens, then that’s more than Xbox One. Xbox One is probably going to sell about 10-11 million, but again Microsoft doesn’t tell you and there is no way to measure anymore. But I think Xbox One is on track to sell 10-11 Million a year, Switch is gonna do that 10-11 could sell more but it really depends and I need to get through to a holiday season to see.”
It wouldn’t be surprising if the Switch did outsell the Xbox One this year as you can’t find a Nintendo Switch anywhere in stores and it’s in high demand due to the amount of games.
