I'm not convinced PS5 has lost many sales in the long term due to the current shortages; I expect people will simply get one further down the line instead, there will ultimately be a many PS5 games you cannot play on Xbox Series.

I don't know if I'd go so far as to say it's guaranteed; Nintendo's tendency for moronic self-sabotage could always resurface and they could replace it next year and quickly discontinue Switch 1 like Sony have with the PS4.

It is almost 100% going to surpass the PS4 next year and even if sales start to drop off fast it will have no problem outselling the PS4 by the time Nintendo stops selling it.

With its current trajectory that certainly looks like the likely outcome, but there's a lot of alarming rumblings about a new Switch in 2022. Killing Switch so soon would be beyond stupid, but Nintendo has been incredibly stupid before.
