I don't get the notion of old. The lifecycle of a successful console usually sees rising sales until peak and then slow decrease which is starting to get faster over time. So new consoles sell less than older ones.PS4 is just over the peak, so pretty near at the maximum sales it gets.
Only failed consoles have their highest sales near launch.

A lot of good consoles have picked on their second full year.

What do you mean picked on? Switch is selling better than in it's first year, this much is clear. So yeah, Switch picks up momentum. But you do not expect this was the peak year for Switch? 2019 will be bigger for sure and 2020 probably the peak year. Will people compare then in 2021 to PS5 and say: Switch in it's fifth year sells better than the new console with the launch push? It's just ridiculous. Older consoles near peak are expected to sell better than new ones.
