It will be the second time that their home console won't win its generation and the outlook for the time after the PS5 changes because Sony has no guaranteed wins, as opposed to how it's perceived now. And of course I don't expect PC gaming, mobile or streaming to eat into console sales, so Sony loses its sales to other consoles.

A lot of people aren't going to count Switch in the PS5 vs XB1SX war. Despite Switch doing over 100m lifetime, and factually winning the gen 9 war, they'll try to call Switch a handheld, or last gen or whatever. XB1SX won't come anywhere close to PS5 sales. It will be another clobbering, just not as horribly one sided as this gen. So with Switch being incorrectly viewed as handheld, or last gen, by most gamers, the overall perception will be that Sony handily won another gen. 

Umm...did you already foresee the future? I didn't know the Switch did 100 million already. Last I checked, it just surpassed the SNES. Also didn't know they won a gen that didn't start yet. :-p On a serious note though, you can't say the Switch is generation 9. I mean just a few months ago, there were some folks arguing up and down that it was still generation 8 despite having a previous console within it (generation). So the consensus is that the Switch is still generation 8 with PS4 and Xbox One. Just because PS5 and Xbox Series X starts the new generation doesn't mean we can't count Switch sales tho. It would be unfair to switch (no pun intended) the narrative because Switch will more than likely reach the 100 million milestone for arguments sake in a new generation it didn't start in.
