I don't think the Xbox brand is threatened by Switch whatsoever. They already counter it with better hardware and online. Sony might face some competition since they're also Japanese branded and their online is weak, but they still beat the Switch with performance.

Software is Nintendo's ace, but knowing them it'll be slim pickings at launch and for the first year.

@Bolded: Have you not been paying attention to Sony for the past couple years now?  Their online experience isn't exactly weak.  Online functionality has been a mainstay during the entire run of the PS4 and a large part of the PS3 days.

I wouldn't agree with that at all.  Last month PSN was hit hard twice by DDoS attacks and there's been reports recently that PSN accounts in the U.K. are regularly hacked.  I'm not trying to start a flame war, but it's pretty obvious to anyone who's not a fanboy that Sony's online infrastructure is weak comparatively.
