I usually get banned for threads like these but now that we have actual data I should be OK.

Switch is matching PS4 in what is supposed to be PS4's peak year and we haven't even started with price cuts, bundles and Nintendo's expanded audience stuff yet.

Switch's life is going to copy X360. It will go from premium 'hardcore' nintendo-home console (Gamecube/WiiU) and over time will turn into an ultra casual Kinect-ish home/hh console (Wii/DS). Netflix and Youtube for Switch will signal Playstation's demise(ala mass market PS2-DVD). (Probably the last thing to happen).

Whether people want to admit it or not, Nintendo are selling a HOME console at $300 with no software included and HOME console games at full price, something even the Wii couldn't manage. 

Nintendo is repeating Wii but doing it properly this time. They've bumped the price up, unbundled Wii Sports and aren't interested in the cazualz......just yet. Instead they've made Wii Boxing into a good game (ARMS) and they're selling it for a premium $60 on a $300 home console.

Nintendo is waiting for Sony to react before they reveal what the true intention of the IR camera/motion control is. It's GBA-DS v PSP all over again. If Sony tries to react, Nintendo will go full casual mode and it won't matter this time because the console is already established as a 'hardcore' PSP-esque device at $300.

When it's at $200 with Switch Sports included it will be obvious to everyone that Sony and the PS5 don't stand a chance. Switch will leave PS4/5 with only the AAA versions of AAA games while Switch gets Nintendo first party (home and hh), full support of indie, upcoming smartphone devs, AA-versions of AAA games and portable AAA games.

Sony will only have the AAA versions of AAA games similar to what PC has today. It won't be enough against everything else being portable with (gimped) local multiplayer. PS4 might break records but it will be left turned OFF while Switch gets all the playtime. Switch will go on to become a better non-gaming entertainment piece of hardware that toasts PS4 and rivals Apples/Androids workhorses (all rounders) for movie/TV/music.

You heard it here first.

Probably last time, too. 

Pretty sure we heard it several times throughout the generations

We've heard "PlayStation is going to kill Nintendo" throughout the generations. Don't think we've ever heard the reverse until now.

I thought mods don't allow cold-blooded murder?

In Japan, maybe. But worldwide I'd put more money on Nintendo Sephirothing X-box

There's plenty of room in the market for both. At this point the PlayStation is one of the few things keeping Sony itself afloat, and they'd never allow their consoles to become so undesirable that no one would be interested.

Oh, Jesus why.

Hmm...

Competitively compete against yes but let's not go too overboard. Switch is still severely supplied constraint so it's not quite able to be on par with PS4's first year, but still is able to closely follow behind for now.

It is of course more than possible for the Switch concept could out rival the PlayStation in the far future, but it's a bit too out of ways to be accurately thinking that far ahead.

Switch will kill the PlayStation Vita, and maybe even Playstation home consoles in Japan but I think it's a healthy rivalry of the two platforms Switch and PS4 from here on out.

another thread with X console will kill Y console...
