In the first year PS4
- had stock issues
- no differentiating software like the massive titles in Zelda/Splatoon/Mario
- no portability feature that is clearly creating demand for the Switch
- launched at $400 ($100 more than Switch)

Yet first year sales are comparable to Switch, of course with Switch selling more. Every year gets better for PS4, not just in sales but in all areas, which has led to the sales PS4 has garnered. PS4 has PROVEN itself as a monster economy for the gaming crowd whereas Switch has been a monster in sales/critique/software for less than a year and Nintendo fans are surprised when people choose PS4 to be the fastest to 100M?

It's pretty obvious PS4 is the safest bet when you don't narrow your perspective to a single year. Not to take anything away from Switch here because for all we know Switch could end up selling 100M faster than PS4 by continuing to appeal to their dual market. There are sooo many more things to come for Nintendo but they must work for Nintendo really well.
