PS3 and 360 did directly compete, and neither dominated like the Switch or PS4 because they ate into each other's sales to a greater degree as a result.

Of course PS3 and 360 directly competed.  My point is that the release of one did not immediately cause the other to plummet in sales.  Console competition almost never works that way.  The reason that neither dominated like the PS4 or Switch is that the PS4 was the dominant console of Generation 8 and Switch is the dominant console of Generation 9.  It's not obvious that the Switch is competing with the PS5 now, but it will be obvious by the end of the generation.  PS5 + XBS will never get above 130m.

I may have already asked you this so apologies if I've forgotten (I have some memory issues) but if you think the two combined will fall short of 130 million, how much do you think each will sell individually, lifetime?
