The big question is how much the price increase will hurt PS5 sales. It is possible Europe might be the most interesting with PS5 and Switch 2. Switch 2 will likely grow its lead in the Americas for 2026 from here on out.

Unless the Switch 2 also get a price increase, and 100$ at that .. 

Yeah a Switch 2 price increase would hurt sales for that. But with given the install base I think Nintendo wants to hold off as long as possible. With PS5 there are already over 90 million sold.
