I'll do like Socrates and return with a question, are Ferrari and GM direct competitors because both sell cars?

They would need to cater to the same market, It is very hard to defend Switch (or Wii or WiiU) directly competed with  PS360 or PS4X1 when the higher up of the 3 companies say there was direct competition between PS and Xbox and that Nintendo were blue ocean strategy (just look at the folks that bought Wii and never returned to gaming, or now that only 30% of Switch owners don't own a different console).

One day people will accept that there are indirect competitors and replacement products and that isn't something bad about the product in that role when compared with the others. Just as PS X1 would be complimentary to people that like Nintendo first but want to play some third parties Switch is complimentary to who likes to play exclusives of PS or Xbox and 3rd parties but also want to play Nintendo games.

"More power? More AAA software? No portability? Steal sales?"

That's a longwinded way of saying yes.

If Ferrari had a Black Friday sale with 99% discount, would GM lose sales?

If PS4 had a Black Friday sale with 99% discount, would Switch lose sales?

Seems like you don't know the concept of indirect competition and substitute products.

Because of course if one product can be a replacement (go check Porter competition) and it have a 99% discount it certainly will impact the sales of other products that is is indirect competition or replacement.

If houses had a 99% discount that would affect the purchase of several products because people would do impulse buy and would either them buy stuff for the house or not have as much money available for stuffs that aren't for that house. That doesn't mean house directly compete with PS4 or Switch.
