I have a hard time believing they will achieve that honestly.
Both have a so so lunch line up and while they have clearly a big upgrade from the current generation, they are still that, an upgrade until new games are coming out (Halo, Flight Simulator for Microsoft) and (Horizon Dawn, GT for Sony) that will really use the machine's internals.

The Switch cames up with Zelda (and few others) which, by itself, sold the console :)

Would say:

Sony: 2.5M
Microsoft: 1.5M

The Switch launched with 5 games. Even if one of those games was Zelda (itself not an exclusive) 5 games is still a weak launch lineup.

It is a huge stretch to say that the PS5 or Xbox Series X have weaker launch lineups when they presumably will have more than 5 games. Including big third party games like Watch Dogs and Assassins Creed that may never come to Switch.

I do not agree with the "weak launch lineup" for the Switch.
Zelda WAS a console seller and I could not say the same about any game coming out for the 2 next gens.

The games you are mentioning are ALL available on current gens. This is a very different story.

While I am actually looking forward to play those games on my Series X, I do not need it and nobody will need to buy a next gen console to play them. Zelda, was a Switch game, for the Switch. And it moved a LOT of console :)
