Will it really be interesting though?

Is any sensible person here expecting next gen to be anything other that PS way out in front followed by Nintendo and then followed by Xbox?

PS in front of Nintendo? What planet are you from?

So you're basically predicting Nintendo is going to set a literal record for sales this holiday season on the backs of 1 new spinoff game and several games that have been out for awhile, some for years. What's your basis for these numbers?

Sales-Age - US NPD August 2020: Nintendo Switch set the highest ever dollar sales record in the history of August US NPD, top 20 August sellers, and BOTW feats.

Every time we get thread about Switch sells numbers people get angry, is it so wrong for Nintendo systems and games sell well? I have both PS4 and Switch and I'm so fucking happy to see games like GhoT, Paper Mario and BotW selling well. Now if games like 13 Sentinels Aegis Rim sell this good.

Parents can buy two Switch Lites for the price of one of the next-gen systems. The lack of brand-new titles (perceived or actual) means nothing when the system already has Mario Kart 8, Minecraft, Breath of the Wild, etc

Easy prediction, imo.

I mean it should. Costs less and doesn't have a supply constraint of a launch console.

You're asking the obvious. From where's else if not from past sales data?
