You're right, because they are indirectly competing.
XBO/PS4 is direct competition because the better one sells the worse the other will sell.
Switch/PS4 or XBO is indirect competition because a massively successful switch won't have a big negative impact on a PlayStation or Xbox console.
PlayStation and Xbox are both fighting over the same scraps, and a person is much less likely to own both a PlayStation and Xbox than both a PS/XB and a Switch.
Though even if you reject the terminology, it's indisputable that PlayStation/Xbox have many more similarities and are much closer linked in competition than the Switch.
