No , It's not about price or games or popularity of Switch (that could be true but need another different discussion ). What the expert said in his tweet is " Switch is not a direct competitor to PS5/Xbox " . Instead it's a compliment for both and will not cannibalize each other sales.

A statement that is 100% wrong.

Call me when top 10 selling games of Switch aren't 1st party but 3rd party instead. Majority people bought Switch for 1st party, not 3rd party

Call me when your post has anything to do with the subject at hand.

That's not what happened.
With the exception of the launch window, due to shortages, 360 was outpacing its predecessor the entire time.
Xbox vs 360
Launch-1.5m vs 1.2m
Year 1-6.5m vs 6.8m
Year 2-5.7m vs 7.9m
Year 3-6.2m vs 10.9m
Year 4-4.1m vs 10.2m
Basically they tied for the first year (when Wii wasnt out yet) then 360 started outpacing it.
As for PS3, Wii had little to do with its sluggish sales, it was the ridiculously high price, Blu-Ray not being as big of deal as DVD and the loss of a ton of exclusives.
Wii was like Switch, great sales that were independent of the other consoles and complemented rather than competed with them.

I can't believe that after so long there's still this much denial. The wii was a huge hit, sony effed up the ps3 AND both of these facts impacted sales of the ps3.

This is a "Captain Obvious" prediction on Mat's part. The release of a console from one brand has never had any measurable impact on the sales of a console from another brand. It just doesn't happen. Ever. There's no reason to assume it will start happening now, especially in this case. Nintendo is offering an experience that's much different than what Sony & MS offer. PlayStation & Xbox are like twins, while Nintendo kind of does their own unique thing. Nintendo is not really competing directly with PS & Xbox. |
You should specify that it's about existing consoles released many years prior. Consoles of the same generation affect each other a lot.

Switch target portable fans and Nintendo fans. It did compete with ps4 in some ways about software, but not directly
