The PS4 was selling when the Wii U was a thing, which was basically Nintendo’s lowest point with their home consoles. I doubt another Wii U would suddenly change the situation for the PS5 since we’ve already witnessed the PS4 have everything on its side and still missing the 10 million mark LTD.
And in technicality, the PS5 is the “better” system. It’s a an upgrade in power and features compared to the PS4, which was already more powerful than the Switch. But we’ve also seen that with the Vita and 3DS, PSP and DS, and PS3 and Wii.
As for comparing home consoles or whether the Switch should count as either a handheld or home console, I have one thing.. While the Switch can be played on the go, I can see how it’s treated as a home console as well. The OG model is $300 or so in Japan (if you don’t include the $200 Lite). Not to mention, most of Nintendo’s biggest games are priced like any other home console games. Unless you can convince me (or Nintendo in that matter) that BotW or Smash Bros Ultimate or XC2 should’ve launched at $40 because they’re supposed to be considered handheld games, I don’t see it being just exclusively one way or the other. I guess you could say the AT&T WiFi model of the Vita should’ve brought down my stance in terms of price (it was $299 at launch), but it didn’t sell well so..I guess people thought it was too expensive for a handheld at the time (not to mention the memory cards being expensive at the time too).
