Switch had to complete with the ps4 pro out if the gate and that ps4 had it easy early on? Didnt ps4 have the xbox one and wii u to complete with right out of the gate? Id say switch has it easy all along because its the only gen 9 system so it has no competition but still it barely outselling a 6 year old gen 8 console

Switch was a comeback from the failed WiiU.  The PS4 was competing with the X1 (which was a PR nightmare) and the WiiU (which needs no explanation).  The PS4 did not even need to launch any heavy hitting games outside of cross gen games to sell for over two years, mainly because the competition had already shot themselves in the foot.

But please do go on about how hard the PS4 had it.  The Switch was deemed a failure since it was revealed, only to come out and become a Smash hit in the same way the PS4 did with less obstacles.

Between you and the OP, I feel like everyone just lives to downplay the facts these days.  Too bad, be it Switch or PS4, there are plenty of games you could be playing instead.
