1. I have most of the PS exclusives, but I usually do not waste time with collectibles or tedious tasks which is why I only have 5 plats. It takes a lot to get me to plat a game. For example, I got the plat in GoW because I just loved it so much. I am a c hair away from the plat in Horizon Zero Dawn, but did not feel like tracking the collectables down. I fully intended to, until it actually came time to do it lol.
But I am suprised that you said not that many exclusive games. Click on it and you can see I have all of the big ones and quite a few smaller ones as well dating back to Killzone and Knack. I think the only big game I have not played yet is Spiderman due to my backlog already being too big.
2. Agreed
3. No as the Switch is a home console that has a feature to play games on the go. It plays 3rd party multiplat console games and all of Nintendo's home console style games are released on it as well.
However the Switch is in a unique spot as based on future SKUs and wether or not they release a handheld only version that cannot be docked. This really is a debate that no one can win based on what time period you may be potentially looking at and the events of that period that have yet to happen.
As of now however, the Switch is a home console as that is how it is treated and developed for overall. Years down the road based on business decisions that may or may not happen, my stance could change however.
4. They both had core console games and therefore were competing directly, they just had their own offerings of core experiences to choose from. The Wii however was comprised as mostly casual friendly games and experiences, but also had some core games as well. I feel the Wii was competing in the same market as the PS3 as well, but the core gamers that bought the system were front loaded and their focus shifted overtime.
Then when they mis marketed the WiiU...well we all know what happened there lol.

"all of Nintendo's home console style games are released on it as well" Well, well, their biggest system seller is a handheld series: Pokemon

Actually Smash is tracking to the biggest system seller as most sales this holiday seem to be in Dec.
As for Pokemon, that depends on the 2019 game. Lets Go was a casual remake of the original games, and can be viewed as not really console caliber. If the game coming this year steps things up to say, a BotW level...well that would be a console caliber Pokemon game.
I will point out however that there is at least one game that can ONLY be played docked that exists (Super Mario Party), but there is no game that can only be played in portable mode. So there's that...
