I read this as PS see's the Switch taking potential PS4 customers, so the PS4 price may need to stay lower, if not considerably lower than Switch to keep people's attention focused on a lower priced PS4.
It also may be a hint that if Switch sales continue or accelerate, that it may be worthwhile to create a similar product, maybe.

The more PS4's they sell, the more PSN users they get. It may not be a 1:1 ratio, but for every lost customer to Switch, it's a lost opportunity for another yearly PSN income.

Can I ask how you read that from what was said? Either I’m the stupid one here and I’m incorrectly read the quote or ...

They can't ignore Switch. Why? Not just that it's selling well, but it may be taking away potential PS4 customers.

PS makes money selling games and subscriptions. In order to sell those items they first need to sell you a PS4.

If people are buying Switch's, and not PS4's, then PS doesn't sell as many games and subscriptions.

An easy way to sell more PS4's, as per BF, is to drop the price, and/or add more value.
