Hybrid consoles are superior to traditional home consoles, so obviously it sells more. 

If they share 90% of their library and one console is $100 more expensive and the games run worse to boot... Yeah, that's what they call easy competition. No console in the history of gaming had easier competition than the PS4.

Lol... now you are just trolling...... unless I am mistaken tho. Didn't the XB1 get a price drop less than 4 months after launch and another a few months later?

Lastly, you do realize that the XB1 held its own in NA right? So obviously it wasnt that easy. However if we are talking worldwide? Then sorry to break it to you, the PS4 is still the best selling console on most months....especially january 2018.

Assumption: Switch sold exactly 300k units at an average selling price (ASP) of $300. Switch hardware revenue is $90m.
Modifier: Switch and PS4 hardware revenue was identical. The public NPD release says the consoles were within 3%.

If ASP of the PS4 was $320: 281k units.
ASP of $330: 273k.
ASP of $340: 265k.
ASP of $350: 257k.

A PS4 SKU split of 70% Slim at $300, 20% Pro at $400 and 10% MHW bundle at $450 results in an ASP of $335.

I could be mistaken.... but when they say hardware, don't they also means console related hardware like controllers and stuff?
