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.

Yep I expect impact but minimal.

And sure there are some overlap, but considering the 3 years difference to market I would say most would rather have the two consoles than chose just one if they have interest in both. You can't play most 3rd parties on Switch (besides Sony exclusives if you mind them) and you won't play Nintendo games on PS4, so the reason to consider any of the 2 are quite different to see the overlap making one exclude another being minimal.
