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

If Nintendo follows a release schedule sort of like this it seems they will have a lot of heavy hitters that can boost Switch 2 sales the coming years.

2026: Splatoon Raiders (Mostly in Japan), Pokopia, 3D Mario.
2027: Pokemon Winds/Waves, new Smash.
2028: New Animal Crossing, 3D Zelda.

This year will mostly depend on if they really have a 3D Mario style hit releasing later in 2026. I think Mario 40th anniversary combined with the movie hype will mean a new 3D Mario game can easily sell a ton day 1 even if GTA is just around the corner.

I'm 100% expecting a new Mario, maybe Galaxy 3? Still... GTA VI will dominate everything, Nintendo would be wise to dodge and not launch a big game close to GTA.

Pokopia and Raiders look weak... Maybe I'm wrong, but it feels like more sub 80/low 80 games.
