It is a victory for the PS5, it is a 500$ product versus a 350$ one.

I’m not sure I agree as the switch is sold at a profit and the ps5 is sold at a loss. For me it is more impressive to sell the switch for a lot more than it costs to produce than sell a product at a loss. But in revenue ps5 leads by far.

At this point launch aligned the Switch OLED hadn't released yet.
Regardless of that, this isn't about revenue.
