Sony says it can not ignore the Switch

I think you're reading far too much into this. In no way does his comment imply they're going to target a portable market.

But I also disagree with Kaz, the Switch is not a direct competitor to the PS4. They have very different software libraries and appeal to different people. If you look at the top 100 selling games on the PS4 the vast majority won't be on the Switch even when you look again in a few years time. Their will be a minimal impact, except in Japan.

Bingo. It doesn’t mention anything about Sony being interested in making a handheld again. He’s talking about engaging customers to stay on the PS4. And to be honest, Sony’s focus on single player prevents continuous engagement like an MP focused or MMO would do.
