If people had to base off of 1 week of sales to make a major decision like that we be on the ps9 by now

Heh, yeah that is one of those premises that is basically irrelevant to the conclusion. It is one week in one territory, so Nintendo will definitely base the release of their next system based on that. 
Or maybe there are other things to consider like
1. Hardware is still in short supply in the US. Also, Japan tends to track ahead of other territories in terms of % of lifetime sales.
2. Software sales are actually more important in terms of when to release new hardware, because software is where most of the profit comes from. This year looks like it will be significantly up YoY from 2021 in software sales, both in Japan and worldwide.
3. Nintendo is going to release a lot of titles this year including some heavy hitters. They wouldn't do that the year before they are going to release a new system. The year before the next system releases should look kind of light software wise, because they will be developing for the next system instead.
curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

there wont be a new system next year, the earliest would be 2024 Christmas, but more likely 2025. Except another new model, possibly even another OLED. Theres also potential for a bundles/price drops. this year has the potential to be Nintendo's biggest year, and some of you guys are talking about drop in sales and a new system @_@

Point out something about saturation. Not peaking does not mean something is saturated. If NSW goes and sells 4mil this year, in which 3DS aligned sold 1.9mil and followed up with an 1.8mil year I don’t know what to tell the some of yall!!!
NSW is ahead of the 3DS by well over 2mil and will currently sell more than what 3DS did in year 6/7 combine.
If NSW sells 4mil or even slightly underneath it, it would still be a well above good year for any hardware to have

Selling 4-5 million units in a console’s 5/6th year in Japan would be amazing, even for a “saturation” year.
That saturation is setting in doesn't mean that the console is gonna die now.
