It is too early for me to make such a prediction. I need more informations about the consoles.

If you mean the sales after the other 2 are released, then of course switch will be past it's best years and probably sell more than PS5 and NeXtBox for 2 years like the PS4 did over the switch. Than switch will naturally wind down and sell less than the power twins. But if you mean total sales, switch is charting pretty similar to PS4 so 90+mil is guaranteed. I don't think NeXtBox will sell that well and not sure about PS5. Sony has a history of messing up after a successful console.

Not that I necessarily agree that the Switch is going to belong to the PS5/XB2 generation, but that the power of the Switch will have nothing to do with it. The 3DS is and will forever be in the same generation as the Xbox One X, a console that can't output more than 240p vs one at 2160p.

We’re dosing this again? Have we learned nothing from the WiiU debacle?

Switch is beating XB4. Hands down.

Well, it's pretty obvious that PS5 is beating the XB2. I think it and the Anaconda will be pretty much the same power level. Nothing like the 40% the PS4 had over the XBO. Probably more like 10%-15%, if one is more powerful. And in that scenario Sony wins. It's possible it will be close in NA, but in Europe and Japan it won't be close at all.

Of course, there is a chance that the more powerful box is the Xbox 2, but if that's the case I see Microsoft not wanting to take much of a loss or any loss at all. So it may be a little more powerful, but it may also be $50-$100 more expensive. That will help PS5 even more.

PS3/X360/Wii = Gen 7
PS4/XOne/WiiU = Gen 8
PS5/X4/Switch = Gen 9

Do we really have to explain that Sega Saturn/Dreamcast situation again? Why is Wii Gen 7 if it has the about the same power as GameCube (Gen 6)? Gens have nothing to do with power/resolution. Switch is officially the successor of Wii U, so it must be Gen 9. All sources will switch the Switch to Gen 9 as soon as PS5 will be released.

But maybe Nintendo releases completely new home console hardware next year (with new OS and different design – regarding rumors) and the Switch will be then counted as a handheld and successor of 3DS, since Nintendo is likely to launch new Switch handheld hardware this fall. I really can imagine a powerful stationary unit with gamecard slot and disc drive which can play exclusive content (and demanding 3rd party games with huge file sizes) AND Switch games in better quality (Zelda BOTW in 4K60 is already possible with cemu emulator).

OP: PS5: 100m, X4: 50m, Switch: 110m

How is the PS5 more future proof than the ps4? Wasn't the PS4 supposed to last ten years?

The Xbox has by FAR the highest ceiling of any of the big three because of all the companies they've been buying. Their software output next cycle is going to make Sony and Nintendo look like jokes, and I say this as a Nintendo Fan first and foremost. The PC part is going to appeal to PC gamers and is going to lead to even more software sales, which is really the only thing that matters since hardware rarely profits much and often is sold at a loss or break even.

You really think in a few years (which means 3), that TVs won't do 1080p? HAHA. 4k resolution, I bet, won't be even 50% adopted by 2022. Nintendo is fine. The Switch is fine. And the Switch 2.0 will be fine.

I can't even comprehend any of this.

But NS is this generation. We will have to compare ninties next console with PS5 and NXbox.

Sony will probably have a strong start with the PS5, unless they mess the reveal up PS3/XBOne style. Considering they've been burning some of their consummer good will lately (lateness of getting cross-platform functionality, PS Classic being a cashgrab, increasing censorship on nudity...) it's not out of the question they could fuck it up, though it is minimal they have such a strong hold on the console market.

The XBTwo is going to struggle, both by the XBOne not being that competitive to begin with and due to Microsoft's direction to put their software on other platforms.

The Switch is the only real gaming handheld left in the market, and even at its weakest that has always reached at least 70-80m all platforms combined. The Switch is able to reach and pass that number easily, considering how well it sells due to the strength of Nintendo's IPs alone, plus the ocasional big 3rd party.

So PS5-NS-XB2

No idea how to quantify the Apple Arcade and Google Stadia effords compared to the regular consoles.
