News at 11, software declines as consoles get old and new ones have yet to peak. OMG what a discovery.

2006: Nintendo: 44M

2009: Nintendo: 42M

2021: Nintendo: 23M

Oh no look at that decline.

Its going to get even worse for Nintendo on Switch's last year and their new console's first year. Software sales could be <20M in total, their lowest in nearly 20 years, a 50%+ decline.

Sure the units sales count is going down from the past due to the rise in budgets, platform consolidation and the rise of digital sales but the Nintendo trend and PlayStation trend are very different.

Nintendo had ups and downs instead PlayStation experienced a nose-dive decline.

From InstallBaseForum:

The blue line ain't gonna be looking perky when 2021 sales form the next dot point. This year saw PS software virtually collapse in Japan even compared to 2020.
