That was his theory.... Its good to have theories :)
He thought that PS4 would have much tougher competition this year (and it has), but it didnt really effect them much.

NSW ~13m?
XB1 ~7m?
PS4 ~20.2m

13+7 = 20m  vs PS4.
PS4 basically just did in a year what the other two did combinded.

Next year Switch should be up, by decent margin, so that won happend next year, but still... its impressive.

People make the mistake of thinking Switch's success will have a negative affect on PS4 sales, when in reality it's not a ps4/xbo situation, they're too different. That it has no affect is proven by the PS4 doing so well this year despite the Switch launching and selling 13m+. Those 13m+ sales had seemingly zero affect on PS4 sales.

They're essentially not in competition, because Switch doesn't take sales away from PS4 and neither does PS4 take aways sales from the Switch.

But the ps4 would have sold more if the switch didn't exist, making your post wrong by default.
