The gap chart pattern is starting to tell us that the previous support at the 0 baseline is now resistance. This would mean that gen 9 falls behind gen 8 for quite some time.
Not necessarily.
Gen 9 is still supply-limited to some degree, with the chip crunch ending this could ease and keep up with or even beat last gen over the next years.
Perhaps, but if PS5 and Xbox Series don't sell somewhat well this holiday otherwise gen 9 will play a lot of catch-up.
I agree, last holiday season was a disaster on that front. But with the supply issue easing, there should be enough time now to build up stock for the holiday season and avoid a situation like last year.
