Yes however drops in sales on consoles become bigger in the last 10 years than they were in 2010 or 2011. So the drop that Wii had back then or DS in 2011 now will result in something around 15M units sold for the switch next year. Just like PS4 drop is bigger than PS3. Or the XB1 drop is bigger than 360. Or just like 360 and PS3 dropes were bigger than previous consoles like PS2 or even PS1. Deaths on consoles are more brutal and fast now then they were before 10 or 15 years ago. With the times more and more people learn to jump from one tech to another. Those are the times we are living in. As I said the thing that can prevent this from happening is 100$ price cut next year for switch or releasing Pro model. This will help steeping the decline. |
PS4 decline was precipitated by their announcement of PS5 release. It was Sony's decision to not attempt to produce large volume of PS4 consoles throughout 2020 while they were building up stock of PS5's so that they could have the biggest launch ever. Unless Nintendo makes an early 2022 announcement of a Switch 2 (or whatever Nintendo names their next console) and similarly slows Switch manufacturing to a trickle, then PS4's sales trajectory have no bearing here. However, we know of too many games being released in 2022 by Nintendo for that to be the case.
