Oh boy...where to start...
To those saying the Switch is not in competition with PS4 and X1, you are out of your minds. In many instances they run the same games from 3rd parties. If someone wants higher performance, they get for PS4 or X1. If the ability to seamlessly swap between portable and home console play without losing any progression, only the Switch can do that. People will decide on getting one version over the other based on their needs, meaning that those versions are competing with eachother on a consumer to consumer basis.
Stating that the Switch and PS4 cannot both have gangbuster numbers and remain competitive with eachother just makes no sense at all. I have a PS4 and an X1...so by that logic they are not competitors either? Two competitors can both be hugely successful. The fact that the PS4 is still successful while also competing with the hugely successful Switch just means that both consoles are desired for one reason or another. Just because many buy both does not mean they are not competitive with eachother.
Now for those saying Nintendo is done with consoles...
Just stop. You are either drinking the cool aid that clickbait articles have twisted or you are trying to twist things yourself. You are making yourself look bad!
Nintendo president made a comment about being flexible in the market when consoles are no longer viable...you know...the same thing Sony and MS have been talking about. They may go third party, they may have their own PC gaming service like steam, they may get into streaming like Sony and MS are trying to push, or they may do something entirely different to deliver their games. Just because he made one mention of mobile games does not mean that Nintendo is shifting to mobile. It means that they are looking to explore that avenue alongside their other ventures...just like other big devs these days...
Mention of theme parks and the like shows that theu are expanding their brand to something of a Disney level. They will be using their established IPs to do so and will be growing as a whole. When Disney Land became a thing, Disney stop making movies?
So please, you are only making yourself lool bad with this tired twisting of words. You are reaching and you know it...
OT
Great numbers for Switch and even PS4. The holiday as a whole has been good to all 3. Glad to see it.
