Switch: a multi-wave console lifecycle (prediction)

Supporting my belief that they're currently in their peak

Nintendo shipped 21.03 million units of Switch hardware in FY 2019/20, up from 16.95 million last year.

Nintendo plans to ship 19 million units of Switch hardware in FY2020/21 which runs from April 1, 2020 to March 31, 2020.

I imagine the Switches lifespan looking more like the PS1 than the PS2. Software support is one of the main reasons.
