Is Sony trying to shed it's "Sad Dad Games" image on PS5?

Well it is basically a strange comparison, Sony have more variety on PS4 than Switch even if we only considered third parties, the 4000+ games have all bases covered. There isn't any genre that Switch have games that PS4 wouldn't.

A fitness adventure game like RingFit Adventure, a sports RPG like Golf Story, a life simulation like Animal Crossing.

But probably you can nitpick and find something that has on a first glance the same genre. But this thread provides examples of the different direction, the genres I said are lacking on Switch: https://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=9167930

Ask yourself if you see V Rally as a replacement for GT or Forza, Telltale as a stand-in for TLOU, Doom/Wolfenstein while good as approaching the same people as COD/Battlefield and the gimped FIFA on Switch being a replacement of the realistic sports games on PS4. And think if the games on PS4 you want to name are really having the same impact as the ones I named above.

Are we really inventing genres to fit?

Everybody Golf is a sport game with RPG elements if you want to go like that. The SIMS is a life simulation. fitness adventure?

For me it just seems like you are pretending there is a whole genre to cover a single game Nintendo created to pad the numbers.
