Surely those are credible assumptions though? No company has had 2 120+ selling consoles in a row and the consoles that have have had unique circumstances for it to happen. 120m sales for Switch 2 would be incredible, why act like that alreayd isn't an already optimistic prediction?

I just wanted to point out that if we're talking about consoles managing to reach 160M easier now, it would make more sense to bring up the Switch 2, an already record-sales console, rather than PS6. And to highlight that, when mentioning the PS6, those drawbacks I menitoned people talk against the Switch 2 aren't brought up, funnily enough

I see, that is fair enough. I don't get why people think the PS6 will be this massive hit. the fact is the more tech develops now the longer the development time for games and so fewer system sellers. I personally expect the PS6 to follow the PS5 and be the system for COD/Fortnite/FIFA/GTA online/etc annual games and like games types, just like the PS5 is with too few exclusives to really make it expode in the eyes of those who don't have one.

I genuinely don't get Sony's thinking wiht the PS6, it's only going exabercate the PS5 problems of decent sales but struggles to sell software. I can't see them doing a Nintendo and holding it back to ensure a good supple of software is ready for purchase. Even Nintendo is padding out it's software with Switch 1 upgrades, but I suspect it's going to have a stronger 2nd year of games than the Switch 1 did to maintain momentum.
