Look at the top seller games of Switch and PS4/Xbox 1 again. If they are the same, then i agree that they are direct competitor. Switch top seller is very different than ps4/xbox 1 top seller. People who have interest in Cod, Fifa and GTA won't get Switch to play Mario, Pokemon or Fire Emblem.  

At the bold: just like Wii - Wii U and Xbox 360 - Xbox One, even PS2 - PS3, agree

This is why i already said they are direct competitors in some way of software and that's about it. BOTW vs Horizon is an example. But Smash? Where is PS All Star on ps4? Bayonetta and XC are not top selling of Switch games, neither LBP nor Knack on ps4. The top selling games on Switch (1st party) have nothing to do with the top selling games on ps4 (3rd party)

Even though both BOTW and HZD are great games I would that even they don't compete much in sales and that most of the buyers of one weren't looking to buy the other and decided not because of it.

I think they are in some way because both are action open world, both are some of biggest games in 2017, both released in early 2017
