He didn't make a direct comparison? He's in a thread about August 2019 Hardware numbers, where the only competitor to Playstation 4 in sales is the Switch, and comments on the other consoles later in his comment. He even specified home console in an attempt, probably, to dodge a comparison to the Switch. Also, saying "Launching at a lower more appetising price certainly lowers the necessity for an early price cut" is a bit disingenuous honestly. It's not an "early" price cut at this point, I'm pretty sure it's the longest a high profile console has gone without a price cut in video game history. |
Didn't read his entire post only what you quoted, but I said he didn't make a direct comparison to other consoles (at least in what you quoted) because he was making a comparison of the PS4 to Nintendo Games in how they sell, and didn't make any mention of it doing better than the Switch in that regard. He was just commenting on the PS4's sales pattern.
As for the "early price cut" I'm not saying that if the Switch had a price cut now it would be "early" at all... maybe changing from early to earlier would have avoided confusion. I'm just saying that due to it's lower price point it's easier to go longer without a price cut.
Still having looked over his post, while he does make comparisons, he never did say that the PS4 is doing better than the switch at selling longer without going cheaper. The comparisons he made were to Wii/PS1/PS2. I don't really see how Switch doing better would invalidate his post.
