i feel the same about people championing the Switch outselling the PS4 as a huge achievement when the PS4 is 3.5 years older and the Switch started out $100 cheaper

Actually, what you said makes it even better for Switch if we consider it came out on PS4’s peak. Like you said, it’s older than it, which actually should give it a big advantage over Switch which is still on its first year (remember Ps4’s first year? It was it’s worst sales wise). Not to mention they are the same price, like you said, while PS4 has 20x the amount of (cheaper) games and bundles.

A console usually never peaks in its 5th year. A console in its first year would normaly outsell a console in its 5th year. And don’t forget - the 3DS peaked in its first year. And contrary to what you believe, the fourth quarter of 2014 (Jan - Mar) was actually the PS4’s best Q4. If PS4 is peaking this year, which we don’t know yet, then it’s because the PS4 is just having amazing legs. Not to mention that price favours the Switch since both are the same price with the Switch being much newer.
