What do you mean in half baked?
because on hardware Sony is much better then Nintendo, also in terms of ergonomically of their hardware compared to Nintendo. Also Microsoft is much better in hardware and ergonomically of their products compared to Nintendo. With Switch they are selling well and I'm happy for Nintendo to have a sales succes, but to be honest nobody buys their hardware because it's so good, they buy the hardware because they want to play mario, Zelda, Xenoblade, Donkey Kong, Splatoon and any other 100th version of one of their first party games!  
So if you mean in terms of games, I can partially agree with you. if you mean on hardware, I disagree!

Well Wii was so much popular because motion controls and Wii Sports, also Nintendo DS was also popular because dual touch screen and games like Nintendo Dogs or Brain Age, and now we have Switch that some people are buying for hybrid nature of console (play anywhere, anytime or with anyone you want).

Now look Sony consoles, if you look at Sony consoles you will basically see that they are basically just upgraded consoles of previous one, Nintendo is that that is trying something different and new with their consoles, actually easiest way is to make just standard and strong console.

Interesting how you mention Splatoon and any other 100th version of one of their first party games in same sentence.

1) correct they were popular, but not first in motion controls and to be honest the wii mote controller isn't the best designed/technologywise product! I liked playing some games with the WII mote, but it wasn't perfect! (and if you have played with the PS Move controller you notice that, that one was much better and their proto's were earlier then WII mote on the PS2 already!) Next to this, with the WII U the tablet they used wasn't really new and to be able to stream to the tablet they got this idea from Onlive, MSFT and Sony. And I have a WII U and the streaming is better on a PS vita (which was a much older handheld console). Also the current Switch is not really very very new idea, because this was already possible with a good Tablet (with TV output, which many tablets have) in combination with controller(which you also can mount on the tablet), but only without having stunning game like Zelda and one of the Mario games etc. So therefore I asked why he called Sony's consoles half baked? (does he mean in software, technology or something else?) As in terms of new real technology and solid quality of hardware Sony and MSFT is really better then Nintendo. 
2) That's not true, as you might know with the PS1 Sony used a technology to finally do real 3D gaming (wasn't perfect) but for console market really something new. With the PS2 they also used quite high end technology which wasn't used in Console market before! The Xbox (first one) was in hardware much better, because it was really a tweaked game PC with (only a celeron CPU) special low power CPU for the consumer market. WII was a success only because of the main market went to children and parents thought it was a good console just to give their kids and it would be safe!
3) yes I mentioned Splatoon and then 100th version of one of their party games in one sentence. Splatoon is a great newer IP(I love it), but be honest how many NEW good IP's did Nintendo create compared to Sony and MSFT, Splatoon is the only really worth naming as a new IP.
