Nintendo's success with the Switch both a blessing and a curse?

I changed my statement to further clarify what I meant about the PS3 sales, it sold a lot at the end of it's life and I feel that was because Microsoft pissed a lot of their player base off with how they handled the Xbox One and it's announcement.  Still have a hard time believing those 80 million units saw full "use" in the generation if that makes sense.

Guess I just thought it was one of those things that gamers mostly agree on. Like:

Nintendo is innovative

Sega was ahead of their time

Enix ruined Square

PlayStation is the biggest brand

EA can eat a dick

Guess there are other factors to consider.

Agree with most of those, Nintendo I feel is the "bigger" brand when you take hardware and software into consideration because PS is really propped up by 3rd party games right now (CoD, RDR, FIFA, Madden, etc).

Just take a gander at the top 20 games of 2018:

(If you combine Let's Go it is at 7,294,966 good for 6th)

The majority of people buying the PS4 don't buy it for PlayStation games and that is the case for the last 2 generations, so Sony's position is very fleeting (just ask Microsoft after they fell HARD).
