Nintendo Switch price aside, console predicted to challenge PS4 and Xbox One for top spot

WHILE THE Nintendo Switch price appears to have contributed to the company stock price plummeting, one developer believes it could seriously challenge both the Xbox One and PS4 for the console top spot.

Will Nintendo Switch challenge Xbox One and PS4 for the top spot?

Since the official unveiling of the Nintendo Switch, the company’s stock has dropped significantly and some analysts believe this to be connected with the console’s base price.

Many were expecting a lower retail cost, however the Nintendo Switch price has been set for £280 in the UK.

Nintendo had warned that they would not be selling the Switch at a loss and recent days have seen the stock rise, 1.94% in the 24hrs.

It’s been estimated that the Xbox One has now sold around 26m units, while the PS4 is way beyond that with over 50m sold.

So what kind of impact could the Nintendo Switch have on the market?

Well, Xavier Poix, Managing Director of Ubisoft’s French studios believes that the new console could have the same impact that the Wii had, based on move toward mobility gaming again.

While the Wii was a different console, it did sell an outrageous amount and crossed the 100m mark. The Wii itself was launched after the Xbox 360 but still managed to surpass in sales, could the same happen here?

“The Wii attracted a very large audience – including kids and families – because it offered, on one hand, the motion controls, allowing for intuitive interactions with the console and on the other hand games with a strong social component,” Poix comments.

“These aspects gave us the opportunity to develop Rabbids and Just Dance, for example. The Switch will probably have a similar impact, thanks to the mobility offered by the console.

“You don’t have to have a home console and a mobile console anymore; there’s one console, which is mobile, that you can bring anywhere.

“With this console, Nintendo follows its philosophy centered on accessibility and social activity with video games. It even goes beyond that with some aspects: keeping the best of the Wii, with the controllers, and offering mobility.

“On brands like Just Dance, we already share this philosophy of being playable anywhere with anybody, and the Switch will push this even further.

“It’s also something to keep in mind when creating new games, so they are developed with this philosophy.

“Rayman Legends was an obvious choice: not only was it very well received, but at its core it is a social game that you can play with up to four people. By adding mobility, Switch will bring the experience to another level.”
