Well PS4 got a handful of awesome games in 2020 (Last of Us Part II, FF7 Remake, Ghost of Tsushima, Persona 5 Royal, Dreams, Fall Guys to name a few) but it sales were lackluster (it shipped 5 million in 2020 in total if I recall correctly).
So even with 8 1st party/exclusives the Switch is releasing this year (that we are aware of), including 2 highly praised games (Metroid Prime and Zelda TikTok), it should be ending the year with 15 million units sold at best (which would make the total at 137 million, which is still very impressive).
