Sony and Nintendo are in competition. But are they really?

Where did I say hardware numbers, in which PS5 islaunch aligned still both behind PS4 and quite a bit behind Switch.

Playstation has zero IP's on the level of Mario and Pokémon. Nintendo sells way more software than Playstation and makes a lot more profit. Especially since their games tend to be sold for 60 euro for a long time.

In what way is Sony being able to compete with Nintendo. 

It makes sense to say Switch or PS5 is crushing Xbox because they are but, saying Switch is crushing PS5 is crazy and delusional. It's also very strange to just disregard selling 4 million consoles in a month alone like it's nothing and it's irrelevant. You have to sell the consoles to sell the games  

Sony had one good month due to have discounts after a price increase and most likely will not or only barely hit the 20 million mark this year even in spite of it. The Switch sold over 28 million units in its peak year and 24 million the year after. PS5 has and will not even come close to those numbers.

On the current trajectory the gap between Switch and PS5 will end up greater than 40 million. Hell Switch is on track to sell more than Xbox series and PlayStation 5 combined. I would argue that's the very definition of crushing. Mario Kart 8 DX also sold much more than any Playstation game could hope to sell.

In which way is Nintendo not absolutely crushing Sony?
