Switch is about to restore some balance.

Restore balance? Huh? Where and with what? Sorry slow moment here.

"However, the good news is that IHS expects 2017 to be a rebound year for the worldwide games industry, thanks to the launch of the Nintendo Switch and the ongoing growth in the digital console business."

The Switch will probably do around 10m this year, Nintendo will introduce their paid for online service, Switch Software will do significantly better than Wii U titles (with the possibility of Pokemon starts launching in the year) and the 3DS will still recieve several Big launches including DQXI.

A new console launch is normally good for the market.
