I always kinda expected the back-and-forth Double Helix Dance to continue for PS4 and Switch for years to come until eventually PS4 pulled ahead due to longer legs.
If Nintendo can just kick their habit of abandoning their consoles too early, I'm no longer so sure PS4 is guaranteed to win in the end.
