Nintendo only has to get lucky once.......

There's still a solid chance PS5 outsells PS4 due to the gen potentially lasting longer, and even if it doesn't it's a lock for 100 million plus which is better than PS3 or any Xbox console.

For now, it's really only Xbox who aren't thriving, and that's due to their own appalling mismanagement. 

That's true though the average per year being lower still wouldn't be ideal. I did say the PS5 is doing really well so to be more clear I think the overall picture is more mixed than that cause one of the three main console makers since 2001 has given up on trying to sell a lot of consoles and its main competitor isn't outdoing its previous system despite that. Basically if the Switch 2 sells less than the Switch 1 as expected then the console market will be heading into a period of overall decline over the next decade after a strong 2020-2023 stretch even if the two remaining major players involved are both still doing really well individually.

"Decline" honestly isn't the horrifying bogeyman that shareholder ideology declares it to be.

So long as you're still making money and you have a large, lucrative and sustainable userbase as PS and Nintendo do, you're doing  just fine.

The notion that you're only successful if you're growing is insanity because infinite growth on a finite planet is impossible.
