    It’s way too early to call them “wildly successful.” The Wii U sold 13.5 million units and was a flop. I would expect the Switch 2 to sell more than that to the die-hard fans alone since there are a lot more people playing games nowadays. But the die-hard fans aren’t what make their consoles “wildly” successful. I guarantee you those families with kids aren’t going to be buying as many $450 consoles with $70+ games. Maybe they will be wildly successful. But we’ll have to be a year or so out before we can know how likely that will be.

    Will they make money? Oh, that’s a given. As much as they made with the Switch? I doubt it, but we’ll see.
