I think SW2 should be a safe bet now.

On another note though, PS5 could be on track to do something no other Playstation hardware has done - next fiscal year and the fiscal year after that, it could again reach up to 20m units sold during a calendar/fiscal year.

Provided GTA6 will release in 2026, even if in Fall.

And then there's still the possibility Sony could cut the prices for all PS5 models, boosting sales again.

On the software side of things, PS5 is going to have a great sunset until PS6 arrives.

Yep, opposite to PS4 gen, Sony has 2 aces up it's sleeve here. One is the GTA 6, which will no doubt give a nice boost for the PS5, the other one is, because of the higher price, if of course the tariffs issue is over by next year, or more like 2027, they can cut the price (since that will be smarter to do, than do it in the GTA 6 release year). But the year is Switch 2's now, the holidays historically were stronger for Nintendo. So I think in the end Switch 2 will pass it by shipments for the fiscal year.
