2026 is a bit tough, but I think the Switch can still carry it, especially if the Switch 2 is hard to find.

I personally don’t think it’ll be that tough, GTA VI might pose a threat to the vs, but that type of game isn’t as popular in Japan as it is everywhere else.

I can see PS5 reaching near 1.0M at the max.

Switch can get to 1.0M calmly.

Switch 2 will still dominate and reach probably near 5.5M.

While I don't believe Switch sales will crash as much as those from DS and 3DS did the year after their respective successor launched, I don't believe that Switch can keep selling like this for much longer. I expect more something like 14k - 17k weekly sales, so about 700k - 880k sales for the Switch next year.

As for the PS5, I expect more something like 730k - 850k, so while the upper limit for the Switch is higher, they're otherwise in the same range
