Lol, "the cliff" that was predicted but didn't happen in 2018, 2019, or 2020?  Sales don't go up forever, so a decline at some point is inevitable.  But, when it does, the people who have been waiting & even hoping for it for 4 years don't get to say, "see I told you so!"  Especially since a "cliff" implies a total collapse in sales.  

Do you remember the Wii, how that was going to change gaming and was set to outsell the PS2? Well you might want to check up on its fourth year sales.

That literally has nothing to do with anything Mandalore just said.

But if you really want to compare Switch to Wii, let's do it.

Wii vs NSW

FY07-5.84 vs FY17-2.74

FY08-18.61 vs FY18-15.05

FY09-25.95 vs FY19-16.95

FY10-20.54 vs FY20-21.03

FY11-15.08 vs FY21-28.83

FY12-9.84 vs FY22-25.5 (projection)

I would love to hear a logical explanation for how these are in anyway comparable situations.
