I'm just happy both consoles are doing great and the gaming market is growing again. We now have two very different sales juggernauts with very different games and philosophies behind them. All these arguments with people jumping at each other over which console sells best are totally useless: The PS4 is currently outselling the Switch and the Switch will soon overtake PS4 launches aligned with the holidays coming up - both statements are true.

As for the future? We simply can't tell. Will the PS4 have a 7 year life cycle and the Switch be replaced after 5 years? Will the macro-economics in the western world and Japan improve further over the next few years? Things like that will have a big effect on console lifetime sales and are way more important than arguing over semantics or saying "But the Switch didn't have a holiday yet!" "But the PS4 was supply constrained!" "But the PS4 was only $199 and the Switch didn't have promotions", etc.
