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. |
The concern is more how things will be looking 20-30 years from now if it continues but yeah in the meantime both of them will be doing really well. When the world population peaks towards the end of century that notion will become even more foolish.
