Switch is red hot. I wonder how long it can keep going.
In the week ending December 7 2013, PS3 sold 244K while PS4 sold 343K. So PS3 sold a lot better after the release of PS4 than PS4 after the release of PS5. Of course we have to wait a bit to see if this trend continues.
I wonder if Sony is starting to regret their strategy change to release next gen games on PS4. PS4 doesn't seem to profit of PS5 shortages. Is there no demand for PS4 or are many PS4 factories already producing PS5, which would mean that also PS4 is having shortages?
I feel you are greatly underestimating Switch's Asia sales this holiday season :)

The game has over 5400 reviews on the website with 99% of customers recommending it... for comparison on Amazon.co.jp Ring Fit has fewer reviews. Suning is one of a few large retailers in the country, and sales of Ring Fit are coming from bundles as well. As the Ring Fit Bundle is actually the top selling Switch option on the website.

It will be red hot for most of 2021, though less units sold than this year. 2022 won't be very big in comparison, and then 2023 onward won't be much compared to earlier years.
It's all but guaranteed to surpass the Wii and PS1. Possibly Game Boy+Game Boy Color sales too. But PS2 or DS sales are too much of a reach, given the competition and markets in general.
Lifetime Sales Predictions
Switch: 144 million (was 73, then 96, then 113 million, then 125 million)
PS5: 105 million Xbox Series S/X: 60 million
PS4: 120 mil (was 100 then 130 million, then 122 million) Xbox One: 51 mil (was 50 then 55 mil)
3DS: 75.5 mil (was 73, then 77 million)

Switch is 205k in Japan here but Famitsu says 230k, why the disparity?
Bet with Liquidlaser: I say PS5 and Xbox Series will sell more than 56 million combined by the end of 2023. (And over 130 million lifetime)

Very long. Switch isn't close to the saturation point as a home console yet, but even when that time comes, it still has plenty of big sales left as secondary and tertiary Switch units in households become more widespread. |
and expands "other markets", likewise China.
Is Sony producing less PS4s? I'd guess they would want to obviously focus on ps5 but maybe in non pandemic times they would've have more ps4s selling
