I think an absence of mentioning that its really the mobile market that has stolen most of the growth potential of dedicated consoles is kinda odd. Nintendo is aiming for a sweet spot between the two (tablet/handheld + dock for home play) and seeing the success in Japan.
As for Sony ceding a chunk of the Japanese market to Nintendo, I think that's absolutely true. Sony has treated Japan very much second class to North America and Europe even when launching there several months AFTER the West. Their focus has shifted off of Japan and I think they're reaping the consequences of that (fantastic success in the West and ok results in Japan). While I don't think they will lose their core audience to Nintendo platforms, they're going to lose ground to Switch barring some major changes in philsophy and priority.

When it comes to third party support moving to mobile, Nintendo and PlayStation are pretty much in the same spot in the big picture, so whether or not it's mentioned doesn't make any notable difference to the outcome in the console market.

Well, you spoke at length about 3rd party support being forced to go from PS4 to Switch, which really has nothing supporting it yet. I was saying that the third option for markets was missing.
ETA: I see you touched on this later in the thread. That isn't absorbing 3rd party support. Getting a cheap, dirty port was the Vita's occupation.
