I feel similarly to how Nintendo is going. If they keep the Switch going, I can see it potentially besting the PS2 as the best-selling console of all time...but if Nintendo does what Nintendo always does by kinda doing their own thing regardless of the market's demands, I just don't see it doing that. I figure they'll make a successor too early and completely cut out the late-game legs of the Switch before it reaches that height. Which is a shame because I'd love to see such an amazing console/handheld hybrid atop the charts! It sincerely deserves it.

My favourite consoles of all time are the SNES (For nostalgia), PS4 (For the sheer variety of amazing games), and the Switch (for its versatility and games). I can see the Ps5 besting the PS4 on this list because...come on, it does everything the PS4 does PLUS PS5 games/features. 

As long as Sony doesn't pull a Sony and get too cocky/stupid late-generation, I absolutely see the Ps5 besting the PS4's numbers. 

I half suspect that the rumored Switch Pro, is actually Switch 2.
They will do what Sony & Microsoft are doing, and make it able to play all older Switch games.... while future games, will be for this system alone.

Switch is 4,5 years old, it could be closeing in on 5 years, when this new Switch model releases.
nintendo arnt fans of useing numbers to differenciate between console gens, so they ll likely think up some new name.
Super Switch! or New Switch! Switch U. ect

I hope PS5 ends up beating the PS4, but so far, Im not that optimistic about it.
Sony could do something stupid (greedy) instead of aiming to grow their install base.

I mean, they are pretty good with handheld backwards compatibility. Game Boy Color played all Game Boy games. Game boy Advance played all Game Boy and Game Boy Color games. DS played all Game Boy Advance and Game Boy games. 3DS played all DS games. Only the Switch was ever a full restart and...it's doing just fine. I would love a Switch-2 or something. Convert all my games to the new console, get newer stuff. I do love Nintendo, even if they frustrate me.
