Remember when the Switch stopped selling after 2017 because they'd used all their big IPs in the first year and all the hardcore Nintendo fans had bought one but the Wii U proved there's only around 13.5 million of those?

Or when it declined in 2019 because this time they'd definitely used all their big games and Sword/Shield wouldn't be a system seller cos Pokemon fans already bought one for Let's Go?

Or when it wouldn't outsell the Xbox One because it didn't have the graphics, third party support, or multimedia features that Xbone had?

We'll look back at today's proclamations of doom the same way.
