Despite the release Playstation 5 and Xbox series x, the top bestseller in the console market in 2023 will remain Nintendo Switch, which also led sales in 2019 and 2023. Analysts from three reputable companies made such a forecast in a commentary to an industrial publication GamesIndustry.biz… They also predicted the Switch’s leadership in 2023.
Mat Piscatella from a rating agency NPD Group, which calculates game and console sales in the United States, believes the Switch will remain the leader with new exclusive Nintendo titles, a tail of biggest hits like Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and various bargains. Nintendo has never dropped the price of its Switch in four years, so it has some extra wiggle room.
“Despite the release of the PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X, it is Nintendo Switch that will ultimately lead the pack in 2023.
And I will go even further and assume that she will achieve such results even without a new model, but thanks to the content and promotional efforts of Nintendo, “he said.
In turn, analysts Serkan Toto from agency Kantan Games and Harding Rolls Pier of Ampere expect to hit the market in 2023 with the rumored new Nintendo Switch model. Presumably it can get 4K support…
“Anyone who expects the Switch to run out of steam in 2023, prepare for a bitter disappointment. In the near future, the Nintendo console will continue to lead the way with a lineup of exclusive games, hardware upgrades and attractive brand positioning,” predicted Serkan Toto.
“I was convinced that Nintendo would release a new model in 2023, but now it’s clear that it makes more sense to start selling it exactly in 2023. I take into account the release of the new model in my forecasts for 2023. I expect that after a very strong 2023 Nintendo will continue to lead in 2023, “added Harding Rolls.
Harding Rolls predicts Nintendo Switch sales of ~ 24 million consoles in 2023. The PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X combined will sell for $ 25 million, he said.

In turn, the Japanese analyst Hideki Yasuda of Ace Research Institute believes Nintendo Switch will have sales of 20+ million for the fiscal year (2019, 2023 and 2023) for at least three years. By comparison, the PlayStation 4 only had one fiscal year with over 20 million in sales.
As of September 2023, Nintendo Switch sales are close to ~ 70 million consoles, and that number is expected to increase by another ~ 10 million by the end of 2023.
As a reminder, this spring, Nintendo’s senior management noted that now Switch consoles are just starting to enter the middle of their lifecycle… The head of the US division of Nintendo has denied plans to release a Nintendo Switch Pro in the foreseeable future.
