However, saturation is different for every console.

Saturation is the word basically used to indicate that a console is past its peak.

And I suppose what people mean is the Switch is approaching saturation.

For example lets say a restaurant can serve 180 people total in one night, so far it has served 140 people. It would be approaching saturation point.

Nah, saturation for what many say is when a console is in a decline and won’t sell well/good anymore imo. That said you can have one major year early and then it’s saturation? So how about this year being peak software year while hardware sells over 4mil? Reminder 4mil is not something many systems even sell in a year. 3DS only did it twice while NSW will do it a 4th time in its 6th year. It’s first 2 years we’re just 500k shy of hitting that as well

I would read saturation as 
1. Decline.
2. Limited hardware impact from new software releases or price cuts.
