PS4 ... I mean PS4 is in its 6th going into 7th year and it's still getting new IP like Cyberpunk and next year they'll get Final Fantasy VII Remake, which is a huge title ... Nintendo just can't have that level of software support for 6-7 years with the same 7 or 8 Nintendo IP over and over again it hits saturation point and 3rd parties don't really help out after that.

Both have room for price cuts as Sony hasn't brought the PS4 down to $199.99 (full time) yet even.

GB and 3DS says otherwise, the former went on for over 10 years while the latter is finishing up with 8 years, like the GB NS has a monopoly on one side of the market unlike it and the 3DS the is only one platform for Nintendo to focus on. PS4 also gets replaced next year NS doesn't PS1 got FFIX in its final year which was a huge game it didn't stop PS2 replacing it fully.

Adding to this, if Nintendo wouldn't have been scared by the Vita and brought the 3DS to set against it so early, I'm sure they could have been running that system for another 2-3 years instead of pulling the plug at a time it was still selling 20M a year in it's 7th year on the market.

Heck, I do believe that the original idea of Nintendo was to run both the DS and the Wii a couple years longer and then switch directly to NX without a Wii U and 3DS in between. But the technology wasn't ready yet, so they had to make a half-step in between, and that one failed horribly.
