Will Sony continue outselling Nintendo as a whole? Most likely.

Will they surpass Nintendo in 3 years? No.

5 years? No.

10 years? Possibly, but only if this downward trend for Nintendo and upward trend for Sony continues.

With a 200 million gap, 10 years would require a yearly lead of 20 million by Sony.  That's incredibly unlikely.  Last year was one of Nintendo's worst ever and one of PS4's best and that still didn't have a 20 million differential.

 

I don't think this is going to happen.  By the time Sony gets near, consoles probably won't even exist in the manner we have had them for the past 3 decades.

Like I said, it'll only happen if the downward and upward trends continue, implying the yearly gap between Sony and Nintendo gets bigger and bigger every year.
