I presented a new line of discussion related to the original, with that line being clearly defined in the first post. Who said what before then is irrelevant to me.

I don't believe the Switch is competing more as a handheld than a hybrid though, just more as a handheld than a home console. Those are two entirely separate positions on their own. I would consider a hybrid's default position in the market to be the line between a home console and a handheld, the 50% mark. However, between Nintendo's data and the lack of a visible effect on PS4's sales before, during, or after launch (despite the Switch's own considerable success), i think it's fair to say that the Switch is sitting outside of that exact 50% line. I might be wrong, but it seems reasonable to me ^^

The context of the argument still remains whether you ignore what he's replying to or not.

Can you for certain say it's not having an effect on PS4 in the long run it can have a significant effect we're seeing the PS4 get steamrolled in Japan which has had an effect according to Namco's own words Japanese developers are scrambling to get on the platform which can be assumed that they were purely PS4 based before which would push the Switch further into the favour of consumers as that means increased support, that's an example of an effect happening.

Of course i can't, which is why i haven't All I've said is that it's not yet had a visible effect specifically on sales (globally, as noted in my original comment), which itself is already a qualified statement. Given how clearly I've presented my views as speculative opinions, i'm not sure why you're asking this at all. I even flatly acknowledging that at the end of the comment you just replied to.
