Yeah i think sales are too close to show who actually won. It is very likely that Nintendo just shipped out more. In fact given the forecast from each company I would bet that Switch 2 shipped more. This is of course without me actually having any inside knowledge. Prior 2 GTA being delayed I would have assumed that the PS5 would have shipped more. That is my current prediction for 2026.

Bold to predict PS5 will outship NS2 in 2026, when historically YoY shipments only go up for new systems (not to mention the addition of 6 extra months this time) and down for systems in their latter-half lifecycle.

I see what you are getting at but I don't think its really that bold. And there are all sort of external things that may actually prevent this from happening like actual supply shortages and what not.  That being said, we can all agree that people buy video game consoles to play video games.  And GTA 6's launch will be the biggest.  So we would expect that the demand for this title would drive demand for the console.  And what happens if Sony releases a GTA 6 bundle during the next holiday season?  Its gonna be utterly massive.  No reasonable person would say otherwise... if you think it won't be massive please explain why so I know where you are coming from.
