Yes, so far it doesn't seem like they are competing for the same costumers.

There is definitely overlap between Switch and PS4 ownership. The catch is that a PS4 purchase doesn't rule out a Switch purchase like it rules out an Xbox One purchase. And vice versa, a Switch purchase doesn't rule out the purchase of either a PS4 or Xbox One.

That's something that people should keep in mind when they wonder if the next PS and Xbox consoles will impact Switch negatively. Hint: They won't.

Especially when you consider that they will be servicing completely different demographics and price points by then.

The next PS & XB console will likely launch during the 2020 holiday season, so 2021 will be their first full year, in the $399-499 price range.

At that point Switch will likely have a revision or two with an entry level price of $199 (perhaps a premium sku as well that maintains the $299 price tag).
