Switch to PS4 ratio at 13:1.

It's almost scary to see one system hold such a monopoly, thank god it's closer in the rest of the world to keep 'em honest. XD

I'm not sure if monopoly issues really apply to gaming.  My three favorite systems are the NES, Switch and PS2 in that order.  NES and PS2 were the two most dominant systems ever made and both had a huge library of great games.

Also, it seemed like Sony had a monopoly during the PS1/PS2 era, but then the PS3 came along and showed that they were actually vulnerable and can't abuse monopoly-like power.  If long term monopolies were possible in gaming, I'd probably agree with what you are saying.  But I think market domination really only lasts for a generation or so and that prevents these console makers from becoming too arrogant.
