Switch's YOY drop has shrunk from close to 30% in April down to almost 20% now.
Will be interesting to see where it ends up; the OLED arrived last October, but this year has a very strong lineup and healthy momentum.
The fabled cliff is turning out to be more of a natural slope.

And wasn’t that cliff supposed to happen in 2019? Causing the Switch to fail to hit a hundred million by quite a lot?

I was actually someone who anticipated a cliff after 2019 because of all of the main IP hitting the platform. But the momentum of Animal Crossing/Pandemic was way bigger then anticipated, I don't think anyone expected it to sell like it did. I Think the more casual audience had quite a late adoption, but it was not tied to any one particularly title in general but just the general abundance of fun and friendly experiences. This is the opposite of the Wii/DS which I think had very clear points & titles early at which the casuals were won over (Wii 2007/Wii Sports... DS 2006/Nintendogs/Braintraining).
