Well the Switch is in the unique position where it can exist alongside the PS4 ("I want the Switch for exclusives and certain multiplats to be portable") and not just compete ("I want the exclusives and prefer portable x, y, z"). I can see many PS4 and PC owners getting the Switch to go with their current systems. The Xbox One, because microsoft has so gutted it's exclusives coming up and made it so nearly all exclusives come out on PC as well, has been completely devestated in terms of its complimentary potential and now must compete head on with PS4 and PC mainly on the multiplat front. The Scorpio is their desperate effort to get that back but I think they will be disappointed. Cause it's the PS4 brand the ecosystem people are buying in to. It being more powerful was a useful marketing tool early on but is now more or less a side benefit. I honestly think MS is in for a refresher course of the lesson they had to learn the hard way back in the 6th gen: just being more powerful, even by a significant margi, won't help you if your brand and ecosystem are less desirable.

What my post was about was that even when other systems are the focus of attention because they are new, and are selling well, the PS4 isn't considerably affected by it, so even if the new system is doing well with alot of people buying it, the PS4 still keeps selling a lot itself regardless.
The status quo the system got is impressive, people don't lose interest on it even when they are buying something else as well.

I suppose what I was saying is that there is a unique reason why the Switch and PS4 can coexist in this way when the PS4 and Xbone cannot, one will go down (almost always the Xbone).
