Why does Nintendo taking over effect Sony and Playstation sales but when someone mentions the new consoles effecting the switch, they're "not in direct competition?"


I generally agree with the statement they aren't in direct competition but also can't help see that narrative goes against it.

They aren't in direct competition in the sense both are disputing the same pool of customers and making them choose between one system or other likewise Xbox does

But Switch strong presence in Japan is making games that used to be exclusive from Sony to be released on Switch. As JP developers, besides the real big ones, don't take much advantage of hardware and Japanese people don't seem really interested in better graphics PS5 offers little value over Switch: It's a more expensive system that offers mostly the same games without Nintendo exclusives

So they can stick to having only one console when in past they could have purchased both Sony and Nintendo
