They just gotta show new shit every few weeks for the next few months, which they already planned to going by past Gen hype cycles.
People act like them announcing this shit at E3 was a bad idea, but honestly if they had to announce it that was the perfect time.

>>39067851>on a steady declineNot really. They've held a solid 16 million average since 2002 for the mainline new generation titles.
Third highest of them behind the huge swell of RB and GS is DP, and that is most likely due to the DS having such great sales.
Since the Switch sold well, they're gonna easily hit the 16 million mark and probably get closer to 18 million like DP did.
