Of course all 3 systems compete directly. There's no quetion. Like i said, just because a prefered system is not the Nr.1 selling one does not make another Nr.1 system a "non competitior". That nonsense started when Nintendo was winning with the Wii. 

By talking about support: For its 9th year we're about to enter software support is amazing. We will get MP4B, XBX, Prof. Layton, Pokemon Z-A in 2025 alone. And thats not all for sure. Of course a handheld's software support in it's 9th year isn't as shiny like in year 3 or 4, but that wasn't the case for any system. Not even the PS2 or the NES had so many great games in year 9. Nobody doubts that Switch sales go down. But they are not down on a level like the PS4 was till 2022 when it was discontinued.

Yeah it's been a weak year compared to others in the past but that's because it's the final year of the Switch, obviously. And I'll take it over the final years of any other Nintendo console lol.

The PS4 with all of its cross gen games is the only thing that is better imo, 2020-2022 were great years for the PS4.

Quality over quantity. If mass producing obsolete hardware was the key to gaming success Sony and MS would be doing it too. Sony is ranked 1st in revenue and MS is 2nd so they are doing it the right way. Doesn't matter if Switch sells 500 million, if developers cannot produce the games they want on a Tegra X1, they won't develop games for it. 

If you're making an AAA game sure, the Tegra X1 is a major problem. But AAA games are not 100% of the industry. The Switch hardware is more than fine for indie and smaller titles, and I suspect they're not going to stop coming for it even after the Switch 2 releases. Just like these games didn't stop coming to the PS4 after the PS5 came out.

So Nintendo selling 140m+ consoles is bad because... they make less revenue (but more profit) compared to their competitors? Weird metric but okay I guess.

You still haven't explained why they don't compete directly and I don't think you will, so we're done here.

Geez. A 1950's Mig 21 fighter Jet is TECHNICALLY a competitor to a F-35 stealth fighter, but it's such an underequipped competitor it's not even worth talking about it as a competitor. Fighter Jets and Gaming both have something in common, they need modern technology to compete. Denying you need modern technology to compete in gaming is like denying you need modern technology in a fighter jet. Doesn't make any sense. Sonic/shadow generations runs like turd on the Switch. When people see it running like turd, they will buy it for another console instead. THAT is why Switch is not a competitor to PS5 and Xbox
