Why would they need to cripple PS5 sales? They fight for marketshare it does not mean they need to cripple each other. The crippling numbers I've been pulling out to you is to show you how clearly they CAN eat into each others markets, it does not mean that it will always be clear-cut or that they can't coexist. But they are waging long-term battles. Make no mistake, Nintendo's retaking of Japan is 3 gens in the making, and nobody knows what new moves are around the corner. Nintendo is in a strong position, they may seek to move forward and take more ground. Only Nintendo's management knows what their next loves are, but don't think they aren't interested in gaining marketshare. After all, they want a healthy bottom-line, and increased marketshare increases the bottom line, a decrease in marketshare decreases the bottom line, except in the rare cases when everyone grows as happened only in the wii generation. Otherwise these titans are fighting for dollars as much as they want you to think otherwise. |
The core of the argument was whether or Switch will greatly reduce PS5 sales. That's what all this is about.
That is my point of contention with Liquid Laser. He says that the PS5 will be greatly harmed by the Switch, I say it won't.
