I think once new manufacturing contracts are done with higher component pricing then we will see console prices rise and console sales fall so I feel the later part of the year will be poor sales and I feel both companies will have to rely more on their existing userbase. PS5 is well established but Nintendo will need to focus a little bit more back on the original Switch rather than try to ignore it. This will probably mean more conversions of older Nintendo games to Switch 1 rather than new games for Switch 1 though. Many are predicting the AI bubble to burst so I could see normal sales resume in 2027. I feel 2026 is going to be a very difficult year for the games industry.
