Michael Pachter Feels Nintendo Switch Could Sell More Units Than Xbox One This Year

Nintendo used to be a distant third when the Wii U failed to ignite audiences. This is sure to change thanks to the Nintendo Switch console.

As reported by TheWolfHall, famed gaming analyst Michael Pachter feels the Nintendo Switch could outsell the Xbox One console this year. With the way things are going now, it could happen.

According to his prediction, he feels the Switch could sell 14 million units in its first year on sale. This is higher than the projected 10 to 11 million units per year that the Xbox One is selling at the moment.

The main reason he feels the Switch could sell more is the portability factor. He feels Japan is the main cause for the higher Switch sales. After all, the Xbox brand is pretty much non existent over in Japan.
