I wonder how many are waiting for the Ocarina of time special Switch 2 version, reducing sales somewhat right now.

And that makes ps5 sales satisfying.

I lost the count how many weeks has stayed above 10k (6th year) .

99% from the salvator ps5 digital, more affordable but also more proof that Japanese PlayStationer went digital, hence the so weak software presence in the charts. 

Retaining that for the next 11 weeks and it will approach the new milestone, howbeit since sales rise like a phoenix on holidays, it should exceed 8m.

I will reiterate my wish it falls a short of PS4 for just 500k (or surpass a bit or at least a tie , but that's tough, it depends on the successor release time frame(will it be 2028), price (which is certain that will be exorbitant in the beggining?)

Switch 2 lite Feb - March 2028.😜 

It's a mystery by how much the revision will cut the cost in order to have a great effect. 

Less memory? 

Probably something similar to the Switch lite: no more joycons, IR scanner or the like, smaller battery, simpler screen, but most importantly, a die shrink for the SoC. Orin-based chips like the Tegra T239 in the Switch are made in an 8nm process, reducing that to an 3nm process would both drastically shrink it's size (allowing for more of them on a wafer, and as they get paid per wafer, this makes them cheaper) and it's power consumption, improving battery life, especially on a smaller battery like a lite model would probably have.

Less memory will certainly not happen, as the games are already made with the current amount of memory in mind, so a smaller memory would risk making some, if not most games, impossible to play.

Thanks for sharing your opinion. 

Then imo the lite will cost like an Oled Ns1, affordable in comparison but not in general as lite Ns1 was.

By memory, my bad, I meant more the storage, not the ram (still i wasn't thinking that illuminating think you said about the limitations of ram size and game function).

Perhaps, making the lite to connect on TV this time can make it more attractive.( a daydream)
