The double helix will continue next year, because the Switch didn't really do that great in its second year.  Sometime in 2023 though, the double helix will permanently end.  That will correspond to when Switch sales really started to grow.  Meanwhile PS5 will peak in 2022.  It's all downhill from there.

I still think you're massively underestimating the PS5.

It's the fastest selling system ever even with severe supply constraints, and said constraints are apparently set to remain until 2023, so I can't see itthe system peaking while its held back by them, especially when a second year peak is not characteristic of a Playstation home console.

Don't believe the hype.  It is not the fastest selling system ever.  People keep repeating lies, and much of the internet keeps eating it up.  A post in this very thread proves it is not the fastest selling system ever.  Look how the Switch has sold more.  The Switch line is above the PS5 line.

More importantly, the PS5 is an incredibly frontloaded system.  Hardcore gamers eagerly buy it up, but when it comes time for the mass market to buy, they'll go more for Switch and X|S.  I really do expect it to peak in 2022.  In Japan, I expect this year is the peak.
