I remember the Wii hitting a brick wall after year 3, but it's still amazing just how quickly the system died off. Such an incredible first 4 years, just didn't have the longevity to compete with the refreshed Xbox 360 and PS3 after 2009.

People are holding back buying Switch to spend their money on an even more overpriced model than the prior one... oh boy...

Quote: "Either way the Wii's days of being the best selling Nintendo home console are numbered."

Not really sure what you are implying. If you mean home console as in "you don't have to go to an arcade but can play in your own walls" then you are wrong because there are still Gameboy and Nintendo DS which sold more than Wii. If you mean home console as in "immovable console which is sitting under a TV" then you are wrong since Switch is a mobile console which just has a connection for a TV, like PSP had, like Nomad had, like every phone, tablet and laptop has.

Funny enough, the opposite happened with the Switch Lite. From the base of around 200k, it first jumped to 230k and then to 250k for two consecutive weeks prior to the launch.

the usage determines this, not you. Denial´s not the make you right. 

The hybrid sells better than the portable one. It´s the fact.

Another fact is the hybrid form has the same amount of time on the portable side and stationary side. 

It´s not like every phone, one average phone you can´t, without buying a bunch of peripherals, play portable, stationary, and tabletop mode. Neither PSP and vita. 

I'm surprised the gap isnt bigger.
Supposedly there was supply issues, and apparently sony order parts to make like twice as many consoles early on as xbox did.
Logically, if stepping up production is proveing equally hard for both of them, then like by the time xbox is at 10m, sony should be at 20m.
That doesnt appear to be playing out.

If they did the difference in sales would be 2-1 since almost everything is sold for both with only Series S remaining in stock. Also Neither can really increase the contracts at this moment.

Both PS5 and Series X are still on a first come first serve, get lucky, basis. None on shelves, not available to order online, coming soon. It's still just about who can provide more stock here (Canada). The Series S is available though, in stores and online, PS5 digital is not.

Some News:
Xbox Cloud Gaming is now completely powered by Xbox Series X hardware.
Microsoft has moved toward this hardware setup gradually over the last few months.
The move to Xbox Series X hardware improves load speeds, reduces latency, and brings higher quality visuals.

Both PS4 and X1 were over the problem of undersupply/overdemand after less than 6 months after launch. So really at this moment we can`t really be sure what will be the real gap between both, although 1 year momentum will most likely be hard to reverse, let`s see after mid 2022 when it is expect to have less inventory issues how the weekly gap will be =]

That's because the new "red box" Switch (the one with better battery life) started appearing in stores in the weeks leading up to the Switch Lite launch. It didn't have a specific launch date and appeared in different places at different times.
