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.

 

 

 

X1 and Ps4 are direct competitors, PC is an indirect competitor to X1 and PS4 as they get similiar games. Nintendo switch is a supplement console for PS4 and Xbox1 owners and is the reason why I believe it's selling over expetations, It's simply Ps4 and X1 owners buying the switch as it's an excellent bonus console and you get access to nintendo first party titles.

When Nintendo switch gets third-party support (like red dead 2, Fifa 19 and Call of duty releases the same day) then Nintendo switch becomes a indirect competitor.

What you think?
