You´ll be lucky if Switch ends 20M above Ps4. let alone Ps5 which will crush Ps4 numbers.

Ps5 will outsell Switch launch alligned going forward (1st 2 years) even without Japan. 

You think Switch is some magical Console that´ll keep selling like this forever, you guys can´t have a decent performance from a Nintendo Console that you´ll go absolutely delusional in no time, unbeliavable. 

With that said, Switch will obviously CLEAR 100M easilly, might outsell Ps4 when all is said and done if Ps4 stops at 125M. 

We still don´t know Ps4 legs going forward because there´s barely any stock, we don´t know Sony Price Strategy aswell, everything isn´t as clear as you say. 

PS5 is going to crush PS4 numbers? Based on what? Where is that growth going to come from?

The way you are framing your post, you are essentially predicting that the PS5 will become the best-selling console of all-time.

"Market growth", came for three ways.

- Cannibalize competition 

- New product to appeal to former gamers and then a new public 

- New countries and regions add to the distribution line.  

Sony PS5 maybe cannibalize more Xbox branches. But we need one year or so(more time than launch window) to make a good analysis. Ps4 market growth became for the competition:  Nintendo and Microsoft make horrible decisions about their console lines. 

The third option, where sony doesn't have a foothold on the game market? I don't know. 

Besides based on the second, Nintendo uses the third option too, Asia became Nintendo Territory now. Others, in Nintendo financial reports, have significant growth.
