PS1 till PS3 only made one billion. But well done on being as profitable as PS4 in such a short timeframe.

The sustainability of console gaming however took a deep punch this gen if sales for PS5 and Xbox won't recover. There is a good chance the combined sales of Xbox Series and PS5 will not even reach 150 million at this point.

Why not include Switch as well?

Okay Xbox is on the way out, we all know that.  But Nintendo are crushing it.

I know it's hard align as really the Switch is in the PS4/XB1 gen, but you get the idea.

Nintendo is pretty much in its own category at this moment. Its more consumerfriendly and ate facing other challenges than most AAA gaming companies. Although Nintendo is also gearing the massive increase in de costs going forward.

The Switch is still the most accessible console, but I can see the successor facing the same problems as PS5 if it launches at 400 euro plus and almost all games are increasing in price and online costs 70 euro a year.
