Xbox One won't be moving much from now on, so Switch's rate of gain should increase this year. From the 360's dominance in America, the Xbox brand will end up in third place there soon, unless the Xbox Series can somehow manage to gain the edge over PS5.

The 360 wasn't dominant in the USA and only passed the Wii when the generation was already over and all consoles replaced.

The Xbox One didn't finish far behind the PS4 in the USA despite severe beatings in other countries of the world. It was also far ahead of the Wii U, so its second place finish was never in danger.

The chances that XBS finishes in second place in the USA this generation are reasonably good.

Lastly, you owned a 3DS yourself. You should be able to tell that the 3DS and Switch don't belong to the same generation.

How are the chances for XBS to finish in second place reasonably good? The Xbox One sold less than 30mil units and I don't see the XBS do more eve n though it didn't stumble. All their exclusives are also on PC and Xcloud could pull some customers away from buying the console. Apart from that the PS5 will very likely sell similar to the PS4 or a bit less, since the PS4 didn't have that much competition. That's still above 30mil. The Switch will end up way above 40mil. How do you see XBS outsell the PS5 in the US?
