Does PS5 have a good chance to win the launch season?

Simple: Nintendo is also a hardware manufacturer, and thus a direct competitor to Sony and MS. The same it would have been stupid to not factor the PS4 and X One when the Switch launched, it would be stupid not to include the Switch into the equation, because it WILL be stealing sales away from MS and Sony.

It's like asking which kind of chocolate is better, but leaving milk chocolate out of the question for reasons.

The thread itself is a tad ambiguous, but considering the poll specifically says "the rival" in the OP, it should be pretty clear that he means the console that is directly launching with it.  

Technically the OP is asking about the launching season, and the Switch is already an established console.  If an OP was asking about two brand new kinds of chocolate, which would end up being more popular, and insisting that it doesn't matter because milk chocolate is clearly better, that person would frankly be going off topic.  

Personally I would say your comments are a bit off topic.  

Personally I don't think it's off topic.

Let's say there is three products in the market: A, B and C. They are all sweets, so thus in theory, they compete for the same market. So when it's asked the question: " Given the limited amount of money people have, and the attractiveness of each sweet, who will sell more, A or B?", the question/discussion is already born faulty, because all calculations, estipulations and speculations are done with the wrong premise, because they don't take into account the ammount of sales that C will take from A and B. If the question was about A and B qualities in and of itself, then there would be no problem, because C performance on the market is largely irrelevant for how the sweet tastes(at least at first). But that's not the case.

I'm not spamming, I'm giving my honest opinion with data that is relevant to the discussion. Sorry if people can't handle it, I only ever give my opinion in threads that I find interesting or in posts that I believe I have something to add. I'm sorry if you or anyone thinks it's derailing in some way, but this is something I will not back down from.
