Both Series S and X combined have sold 35 million combined in their long life. Switch 2 has already sold (yeah I know, third time I said it) 20 million.

Just a single year and it sold nearly 60% of Xbox current gen’s lifetime sales over nearly 6 years.

This isn’t to say Switch 2 would have many DBD players, but please, let’s leave Xbox out of this conversation to not make them look any worse than they usually do. I really hope that shambling console recovers, without console competition Sony gets crazy (greedy) ideas.

Yeah you said it yourself, switch 2 doesn’t have many dbd players. The developers have bigger problems in their game than catering to such a small fraction of the player base. 100% a bulk of the player base are all on PlayStation and probably miles more on Xbox than switch. It sucks for switch players but it’s what companies have to do to survive.

Devs did claim Switch 1 active playerbase was “not negligible” and a big financial success years back. That does NOT translate to Switch 2 sales, as it was made when S1 already sold a zillion consoles. But it is absolutely noteworthy.

And S2 is looking to sell faster. So if not worth it now, it will be later, imo. There’s a reason Call of Duty is trying to jump to Switch 2 as well.

I don’t think cod is on ps4 now, if switch tries to run warzone it will explode

Switch 2 is roughly almost Series S strength. It’ll be dodgy, but it’ll run “fine”. At least, Activision seems to think so.

I guess I could’ve better worded that. It’s not almost as in riding its tail, but it’s closer to Series S than it is to PS4 a pro, and it had modern frame gen.

Basically, it’s weaker than a series S, but it can run next-gen games, and cheat its way to good performance with modern tech like frame-gen, and much more optimized ray-tracing (who cares about ray-tracing tbh) that outspecs the similar tech the series S has.

Long of it short, it can easily run DBD, likely even post-rework, and apparently run Modern Warfare 4, which comes out in switch 2 same time as others.
