70% of Switch Owners in the USA own a PS4 or Xbox One

The idea that a certain system is primary console for everyone and a certain system is secondary for everyone is stupid.

It is different for every person. For some people Nintendo systems are secondary consoles, for some people Sony systems are secondary consoles, for some people Microsoft systems are secondary consoles. There is no "oh nintendo is secondary and sony is primary" that applies to all gamers. Anyone who says Nintendo consoles are secondary consoles just means it is secondary console for themselves, they don't speak for other people. Outside of PS1 RPGs I've had the least interest in Sony consoles out of the three companies. The only Sony system I've owned is PS2 and that was mostly so that I could play some of those PS1 RPGs. Haven't thought Sony systems are that interesting after Square stopped making the masterpieces it made in the SNES and PS1 days.

In the 16 bit era Nintendo and Square were the dominant developers in terms of pumping out masterpieces. PS1/N64 gen it was Nintendo, Rare, and Square. Then both Rare and Square lost their magic touch and Nintendo kept going as the only masterful developer. I know when I get a Nintendo system I am going to automatically get revolutionary games from the best developer on the planet, and Xbox and PS4 gamers don't get a single game from the best developer on the planet, to me personally that makes Nintendo systems the easy choice for primary console, and one of the other two systems makes a good secondary console if I feel like shelling out more money to pick up certain third party games that don't normally come to Nintendo.

Switch is my primary console because it is my only console, and while there are certainly games on PS4 I'd like to play I feel no need to get a PS4 or Xbox to act as a secondary console since there are already too many games on Switch for me to get around to playing - and that's despite 2018 being a slow year! Hell the only reason I started even paying attention to video games again since 2011 was when the Switch came out. I had zero interest in getting a PS4/Xbox/WiiU. Wii was my primary console, and 360 was my secondary console, Wii took up probably like 95% of my playtime that gen. Gamecube was my primary console for a few years though towards the end of the gen Xbox eclipsed it as my primary console, and PS2 was far back in third even though I got PS2 before I got Xbox. N64 was my primary console and the only thing I really missed at the time were the playstation rpgs. Obviously before that SNES and NES were by far the best systems to get, though certainly for some people viewed Genesis as better than SNES.
