My expectation for 2022 is that the Nintendo ecosystem will be up YoY whereas the PlayStation ecosystem will be down YoY once again.
The reasons are that I expect Nintendo first-party sales to be up YoY in 2022 thanks to the release of heavy hits (Pokemon Legends, Splatoon 3, Pokemon S/V, Switch Sports) which in turn should drive the overall Switch software market up meanwhile I expect the PS4 software market to keep sharply decline (-53% YoY in 2021) with PS5 unable to completely offset the loss.
Playstation fans can bury their head in the sand all they want, the current situation in Japan was years in the making and the future dynamics favour Nintendo.
