1. Your wrong, but I agree lets not revisit a conversation from another thread.

ok

2. Well that is false, because anyone who knows me knows that I have clearly been a Sony Fanboy from the PS2 all the way up until the Switch released and I sing those praises.  It is why the Switch is now my primary console afterall.

There are exceptions, besides I wouldn't call someone a fanboy anyway, had you bought PS4?

3. No, it is still a trade off.  I am choosing to play one current gen console game in Valkeria Chronicles 4 on the go instead of my copy of Red Dead Redemption 2 because I only want to play one game at a time.  Just because they are different games does not make one more current gen than the other.  At the end of the day, I am playing a current gen console multiplat on Switch and therefore I have passed on buying certain games on PS4.  They are directly competing as the Switch has impacted the sales of PS4 games on my part, and many others as well.  This is only one example of many situations mind you.

Well one day you'll understand about replacement products and indirect competition and that not because you have one behavior others also have it. I couldn't care less about portable gaming but still I wouldn't think it doesn't matter to most people.

4. Nintendo never once said that the Switch is anything but a home console or a hybrid.  Never once did they say it was a handheld successor. I have just acknowledge they haven't named Switch the 3DS successor, mostly because they are still getting profits there, but if they don't ever release a named successor to 3DS won't you consider that it's a successor to 3DS? And again as I said, even if Switch was a regular game console I wouldn't consider a direct competitor (as I don't consider Wii not even WiiU - Nintendo may even have tried to directly compete and get hardcore gamers, but since I don't see they getting the same market as PS4 and X1 I wouldn't consider it direct competitor and for the cause for WiiU lack of sales don't have anything to do with PS4 or X1 existing but own mistakes by Nintendo namely lack of flagship games on a consistent basis).
