The just announced Hyrule Edition of Nintendo Switch Lite, which will arrive in stores simultaneously with the launch of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, next September 26th, it could mark the sensational overtaking of PS2 in the USA.
Analyst Mat Piscatella pointed this out, saying that as of May 4th, sales totaled by Nintendo Switch in the United States were just lower than those of PlayStation 2. 1.41 million units.
The new edition of the Japanese console, characterized by an elegant golden design and with a satin finish, with some screenprints inspired by The Legend of Zelda to embellish everything, it was received with great enthusiasm and could certainly succeed in the feat.
At an international level the situation is different
The announcement of Nintendo Switch Lite Hyrule Editionwhich occurred with a short clip at the end of the presentation of The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, could represent a last blow for the console before the inevitable passing of the baton, expected for next year.
However, if it is true that Piscatella talks about a possible overtaking in the USA, at an international level the situation is different and so on Switch and PS2 separated by almost fourteen million pieces: a much more complicated gap to fill, even if the possibility exists.
In fact, we imagine that a repositioning of the various Nintendo Switch models in conjunction with the launch of Switch 2, with a significant price cutcould certainly give a further and strong boost to sales.
