Nintendo is market leader but it's not dominant. It's not direct competition to anything else. PC is more direct competition to the rest of the console space and PC is also more competition to Nintendo now with Mobile PCs.

Also, you can't measure Switch against 9th gen like this site does, it makes no sense. It has been selling for half of 8th gen and 9th gen. It's a handheld as well as a console. Comparison just don't make sense even if it could play the majour third party games. 

The comparison is generally acceptable, because the dates of competition are what matter, nothing else. Switch will have coexisted for most of its existence at the same time as PS5 and XBS. The three are competing for marketshare, you can't deny that and pretend like you are basing yourself in reality. Take Japan for example, the Playstation would sell worlds better if the market was not dominated by Nintendo.

It's the stupidest and most awkward comparison for so many reasons regardless wheter you think they are dominating. 120 million acrive PS players monthly across the brand to 128 million active on Nintendo Switch but AGAIN, it's got a cross over between handheld and console and the timing is silly comparison. It's like grouping the DS, 3Ds and Wii together to say they are dominating the market. Just ridiculous. Nonsensical and statistical manipulation to prove "dominance". They are market leader, I'm happy for them but to say they are dominating is facetious. 

23% use switch docked. 77% handheld. Dominance, lol. Sure. 

And no they wouldn't, people buy into Nintendo (especially handheld nintendo) for such vastly different reasons. One of the brands ceasing to exist isn't going to bump the other brand drastically. Most would probably go PC handheld.
