There's a proverb in our country that says:" dont sell the fur Before killing the Beast".

Assuming Sony is dead when knowing that they are at their own home where they have been getting full support from all third parties for generations, is pretty bold. They wont that support even if they sell 100 units per week. Look at all those exclusivities annonced by square on the ps5. 

Transition to the Nintendo side will take several years as ninty Lost credibility since the SNES unfortunatly.

They had full support with the PS4 and still declined what makes you think PS5 will be any different especially with how Sony are now approaching the region?

Decline and doom are not the same lol

PS3 and PS4 have sold almost the same amount, that decline is not big. At most PS3 will gain a 10% lifetime advantage over the PS4. PS5 breaking sales records in the worlds biggest markets will ensure most Japanese games continue to priotise it as a platform since most Japanese games require western markets to make big bucks.

People are being way to hasty with writing PS5 off in Japan, comparing it to Wii U etc. It's year 1 line up is far more Japanese centric than PS4''s and it sales right now can't really be attributed to anything but sony undersupplying the region, as oppose to skipping it altogether like they did with PS4 during its holiday launch. Of course I think Switch will really put a roof on what PS5 can achieve, but at this moment in time, we don't know whether that roof is 9m LT or something much worse, like 5m
