If Switch was directly competing with Playstation, Switch's success would've resulted in PS4 sales slumping; that hasn't happened. Similarly, PS5 won't take sales away from Switch. 

Untrue. 

The Wii launched to great success.  It didn't hamper the sales of the PS2 at all.  The hardware power levels of the Wii and PS2 were much closer than the Wii and PS3, in fact.  But the Wii was breaking sales records at the same that the PS2 was having extremely strong legs.  This is very much like the relationship between the Switch and PS4.

On the other hand the Wii WAS impacting PS3 sales.  Wii was breaking sales records and PS3 was majorly struggling for its first few years.  Wii was not competing with PS2, but it was competing with PS3.  The Wii was not competing with the Playstation brand as a whole.  It was competing with a very specific console, the PS3 and the PS3 alone.z

This is what people should expect when the PS5 launches.  The Switch is not competing with the PS4, but it is competing with the PS5.  PS5 is going to struggle just like the PS3 struggled.  And the PS4 is not hampered by the Switch's success just like the PS2 was not hampered by the Wii's success.

Wow......

The NS will not be able to play probably around 95% of the games released for the PS5 So how can they be competing with eachother?

You think the 130M people that bought a PS4/XB1 suddenly no loner want to play their COD, RDR, GTA, Madden, FIFA, Cyberpunk.....etc anymore?

The NS will continue to sell well for wht it is. It just happens to be that what it is is not something sony or MS needs to be worried about. It will not affect sales of the PS5 for the same reason it has not affected sales of the PS4. Those reasons will even be more obvious with the PS5.

Honestly I am beginning to think you don't know what you are talking about.
