Yeah it's both which is why it's been flat the past year. It starting to decline at some point seems like a sure thing since the Switch 2 is likely to have an over 20m sales gap with the Switch 1 at the end of its life and the Switch 1 is gonna decline in relevancy a lot quicker than the PS4.

I don't think that's necessarily guaranteed; at least not in terms of its userbase remaining active. A lot of the more casual players will probably stick with Switch 1 for many years.

It's cause support will drop way faster due to how anaemic it is. In 2023 the PS4 got stuff like Hogwarts Legacy, RE4 Remake and MWIII while next year the Switch 1 won't be getting any big current games and developers are already beginning to drop Switch 1 versions of their games replacing it with a Switch 2 version with that happening with Decapolice. By 2028 the platform will be kinda dead in terms of new releases outside of some indie and Japanese titles.
