Corrected that for you. Only because a prefered system will not get to the LTD sales of another does not make it a "non competitior". Xbox, Playstation and Switch are competitiors. 

That's a hot debate on this site and some others.

I saw someone say on this site before that comparing Switch to Xbox and PlayStation is like comparing motorcycles to cars. 

And I think PS5 will sell extremely well. PS6 is 3-4 years out which is a ton of time for PS5 to sell more before it's replaced.

If Xbox 5 beats PS6 to the market by a year or two (very likely) it will eat at some of PS5's NA sales figures but not much in Europe and a nonfactor pretty much in the rest of the world. The only region where Xbox has consistently done well is NA (mainly the USA). Xbox is a more or less a non-factor in Japan, especially during the Xbox and Xbox One days. 

All 3 are gaming systems and can be compared and they will be compared. All 3 play physical games or have at least 1 SKU that does. This whole nonsense started when Sony was not Nr. 1 anymore (Wii). Look for example at sports. 2004 Greece won 1:0 against Portugal and they became european champions. They where clearly the underdogs and most people cheered for Portugal and Italy. Did anybody came and said: You cannot compare Greece to te Rest because they play for a different audience or it was just luck?! Greece won, full Stop. Portugal had Luis Figo, Christiano Ronaldo, Pepe... Greece had a bunch of no name players. When a  relativley unknown polish soccer player from germany (Miroslav Klose 16) surpassed Ronaldo (15) in World Championship goals, nobody claimed that you cannot compare both just because the latter is more famous. All 3 systems compete directly with each other. Who sells more wins, who sells less looses. It was always like that and it will always be. Only because people cannot accept their favourite system loosing, does not make the winning one a "non competitior". Thats what people need to learn.
