Nintendo has put out potentially their most successful platform to date (still too early to tell, but just look at the Switch numbers) a few years into the PS4 being out.
Sony has had plenty of competition for the PlayStation 4. Wii U, Xbox One, Switch... Hell even Google, Facebook, Amazon and Apple have pour billions of dollars into the gaming space to carve out their own section of the market.
And let's not forget that Epic launched a competitor for Steam, something that is helping grow the PC market. All of this happened in the last 7 years. And the PS4 is still looking to hit 118 to 120 million lifetime.
Microsoft launched with nothing for the Xbox Series X|S. Nintendo is having their best performance (at least second best) with the Switch. So it will be interesting to see how Sony and Nintendo coexist, but let's not pretend that the PS4 didn't have to deal with tough competition and plenty of industry/market disruptors.
