That absolutely will not surprise me. A lot of people were saying the same thing back in 2010 to 2013 because console sales were in decline at the time. Of course, all the doomsayers completely forgot that the console market is cyclical:

Yeah I wouldn't say the Console market is doomed. It just needs to head toward Hybrid territory ala Nintendo. Cloud gaming will the next big thing. When that fully comes to fruition is unknown though. I do see a peak coming to the traditional console market coming and even Sony and Microsoft recognize it and are making adjustments accordingly.

Why Sony or MS should go ala Nintendo?  92M sold in 5 years(PS4) is not enough for you ? Games like Horizon, GOW, RDR2, GTAV, Forza Horizon4, Halo5, Geras of War 4, are not good enough for you ? Because, if you go ala Nintendo, you will forget about the quality/graphics/physics/details/IQ/AI and size of these Games.  Things will get better and bigger for PS5 and Next XBox, while you would keep playing forever small-medium sized games with very average graphics and basic animations on a hybrid console.   Wouldn't be better to have variety in this beautiful universe, which is VIDEOGAMES.   Bro, I think you have no idea what you are talking about, and you seem very confused about a lot of arguments and some of your posts in this Thread and in the "Global Hardware 8 December" show a bit of confusion. And I'm not the only one who noticed that...

 Switch is selling good, but it's still a new console, and you don't know which will be its future when PS5 and Next XBox will come out. You can make your guess, but unless you have a crystal ball, you won't know for sure.  Wii and other consoles have already showed how much unpredictable is this Videogame "territory"; Nintendo Wii, after a total dominance of 3 years and half, suddenly started to decline in a way that nobody could forecast. Nobody was expecting such a decline, after all that success, and in a relatively short time.

 PS4, on the other hand, is still selling great, another year of huge success(Software and sales), and it entered its 6th year in the life cycle, do you realize that ? 

Sony has dominated this Generation, they learnt from previous mistakes with PS3, they have already demostrated everything and they shouldn't change their winning phylosophy and strategy, just improve as any other Company, 'cause there's always space for improvements.   They have delivered some of the best Game experience ever, Goty, they have sold record numbers since the Launch, still extraordinarily competitive in their 6th year(without a real price cut yet), and you you are coming here, telling everybody what Sony should do ? :) going Hybrid ala Nintendo?   Switch is the one who have to show something, because it's a new Console, and who knows which will be its future in 2/3 years from now. Sony has already proved and demostrated everything this Generation, winning this Generation, not the other way around.  Don't get confused ;)   

  Let's all enjoy the Game experience we prefer.
