Exactly, which was another prediction I came across a lot in 2017-2019. Cos why would anyone buy a system less powerful than a base Xbox One when they could buy a super duper 4K next gen powerhouse instead? Heck, before launch people said the same thing about PS4 Pro and Xbox One X killing the Switch at birth by being so far ahead of it in power.

How easily people forget history; that the DS became the second highest selling system ever while selling alongside the PS3 and 360, or that the PS2 became the highest selling system ever while selling alongside two more powerful competitors.

It’s been a myth ever since the Mastersystem. I don’t even know if the rivalry was even close to as serious as video game rivalries became later. But, as a dumbass kid, I viewed the Nintendo vs Sega similarly to how I currently view the American political system, aka the popularity contest with consequences, now that I’m a dumbass adult.
