So much pessimism. Switch keeps tracking ahead of the PS4 and extending its lead over it, but at the same time there's the belief that the drop off a cliff is inevitable, so Switch will end up behind the PS4 ultimately.

When momentum declines, console manufacturers usually issue price cuts and launch revisions to keep sales up. But for some reason people seem to think that either Nintendo will not act or that none of those measures will help, so a sharp decline is expected.

People are remembering the huge cliff of the Wii and fans are worried the same will happen with the Switch. 

Which makes no sense since the Wii and Switch are in very different situations.
