Then why does Mario Kart 8 sells so much more on Switch than WiiU? It had much less competition on WiiU. The thing is: people don't buy a console and then look which games are on it. They look for games. If they don't have the hardware, they look for enough reasons to get that hardware or bite the bullet and let the game slip. Therefore games on PS4 and games on Switch very real compete. Because Switch gamers see RDR2 and PS4 gamers see Mario Odyssey. The reality is, that God of War and Smash Bros Ultimate compete.
For a hardware that sold less it is even harder, because you have not only to convince gamers to get the game, but the hardware for it too. So PS4 currently is in an easier position to sell games on it, because many already have it.

Maybe the portable factor of the Switch and the immediate gratification of one of the greatest launch games ever promoted more Nintendo gamers to buy the Switch as opposed to people being put off by the WiiU. Either way that seems kind of irrelevant. The Switch is going to do better than the WiiU in every way, the software included.
I agree that in the grand scheme of things, all games compete against one another for gamers dollars. But in the vacuum of the Switch library, there simply isn’t as much for Nintendo to compete against. If there were, they wouldn’t be able to keep their prices so high for so long.

Switch have to compete with every portable system including smartphone. It could fail hard just like vita
