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.

How can you be so sure that PS5/Xbox Two won't "cannibalize" Switch sales? Do you have definite evidence that cannibals are extinct? Because just over a year ago there were several people who believed that cannibalization would claim the lives of many PS4/Xbox One consoles.

You are making things up. Very few, in any, people thought Switch would hurt PS4/XBO sales. It was more of the opposite,

"How can Switch succeed? It's the same price as the more powerful PS4/XBO and doesn't have any of the big 3rd party games"
