You are making a very big spin on second paragraph.

Switch isn't selling more software than competitors. You may say "developers who sell more on switch than on PS4+X1". Otherwise you are plainly wrong. PS4 sell much more SW in total than switch also the sum of 3rd party games sold on PS4 is bigger than the sum of 3rd party games sold on Switch.

I'm afraid you completely missed my point.  Whether the Switch is currently selling more than the PS4 is neither here nor there.  I was speaking to the future and PS5's lifecycle.  The PS5 will not spring into being with the PS4's 100 million install base.  It's going to take years for the PS5 to be able to gain enough customers to match the Switch unless their customers are buying games at like several times the rate of the average Switch owner.

It's not a console war thing.  It's just an acknowledgement of the difference in software sales potential between a mature console in the prime of its earning power and a new console on the scene.  PS5 will get there, it's just gonna take awhile.  And by the time that happens, we'll be talking about the Switch 2 or whatever.

If we look at software shipment during the start of new gen the valleys haven't been that deep because the 3rd parties will mostly be doing crossgen.

When you say "it's competitors" that isn't PS5, either you are talking only about direct competitors in which case it would have none or you talk about all.
