It needs to be remembered that the Switch is coming up on 5 years old now. Of course it's not going to be selling like it was at its peak.
All things considered, it's doing really well.

Yeah people need to get it out of their heads that 2020/2021 were some run of the mill years, they rank high among the best selling years regardless of platform.

As far as I know, these are only the 4th & 5th times a console has sold over 5 million in a single year in Japan. DS did it twice and 3DS did it once.

Exactly, being lower than some of the biggest years ever is hardly cause for doom and gloom. Context is key.
