I think a lot of people here are underestimating the effect of GTA 6 on Playstation 5 sales. Besides, we have to remember that we'll have Wolverine this year, a game that will undoubtedly also help console sales.
On the other hand, when we look at Nintendo's side, we see a weak game lineup. Maybe that will change, but for now, I believe Switch 2 will compete with just "Hype" and "momentum"
In my humble opinion, Nintendo has a lot to improve in 2026; the 2025 lineup wasn't strong, and so far they haven't presented any major games for 2026. Playstation has Wolverine and GTA 6, two games that are promising great success and set to move some consoles...
If Nintendo doesn't deliver high-quality, high-profile games, the hype will die down, and so will the momentum. Because of this, PlayStation 5 might end up winning in 2026.
Edit: Normally I would say that 2026 is an easy win for Nintendo. Although I consider that they don't have a great lineup of games, they have the hype, they have the momentum. However, GTA 6 is going to be a giant, a true Titan for the PlayStation 5.
