Which system will sell more in 2026: Switch 2 or PS5?

Even without Pokémon I expect SW2 to win though. But GTA VI will be a massive system seller for PS5 and any talk of "But everyone who wants it already owns a ps5!" Is nonsense. 

The Switch being over 5 years old, having an install base of over 110m and already having several Pokémon games didn't stop S/V moving systems. A system seller is a system seller and talk like "everyone who wants to play Pokémon already has one." is just a poor line of reasoning.

I am not saying everyone wanting GTA VI already have a PS5, but I cant imagine PS5 reaching astronomical and unthinkable numbers in a year period because of GTA VI

With all due respect, do you believe in the premise that "game X will move consoles"?

If you believe in that premise, I'll tell you that GTA 6 as an exclusive (practically) should be multiplied by an order of magnitude!

Any game you can imagine... anything from the last 10 years is small, possibly insignificant, compared to GTA VI.

As I said before... Normally I would consider it impossible for the PS5 to beat Switch 2 in 2026, but we talking about GTA VI here... It is an absolutely incalculable factor in the equation, the potential is simply off the charts.

It would not surprise me to see 10M PC gamers buying PS5 just to play GTA VI in the first year. 2026 may break all Playstation records, it's very possible, GTA VI can truly do it.
