The main advantage Switch seems to have as a brand is that while they have an abundance of evergreen titles that stick around on the charts for ages, PS can't seem to get any.
Even when they perform okay, games on PS4/5 tend to quickly fade from the charts while Switch games hang on for months or years.

Agreed.  But I want to point out that part of this branding can transfer to third party games if they are well made, effectively making them evergreens too.  Below are some third party games from this week's top 30 that have been around for a while, and it's not uncommon for DQ11 to be there too on a slow week.  The main thing third party publishers need to do is to release the games that get their best efforts on the Switch.

11. [NSW] Minecraft – 9,271 / 2,532,726
16. [NSW] Momotaro Dentetsu: Showa, Heisei, Reiwa mo Teiban! – 5,243 / 2,607,374
30. [NSW] Monster Hunter Rise (Best Price) – 1,979 / 28,114
