They are both fighting for your time and money. The segment of the market they appeal obviously has overlap between people who owns both platforms Therefore, yes they are competing.

Heck, people should really stop using the Switch is "seen as a Handheld argument" cuz Nintendo has already put proof that most of the userbase uses the docked mode predominantly, therefore they do in fact target in part the same market demographic.

According to Nintendo themselfes most people use handheld and docked the same time, but more people play handheld only than docked. You can check that in ir.nintendo.com. If more people played docked only, why is there the Switch Lite, a HANDHELD ONLY model, but no Switch TV, a docked only model? I think that says it all... About this competition thing: I do not fucking know why this is even a debate? All over the internet its a widly accepted fact that both are in competition, only here on vgchartz this seems  to be a problem for some people. At the game awards Nintendo games are in the same cathegory as Playstation/ Xbox games, on gaming exhibitions all big 3 are present, nobody argues why Nintendo is a bon competitior. If anything MS slowly starts to get out of the race: Hardware sales are NOT IMPORTANT (!!!), exclusivity is a THING OF THE PAST (!!!), physical games will be gone next gen (ok for PS6 as well most likley but MS makes the first Step). If anythink MS is not competing, they even release games on rivallimg plattforms. DOES NINTENDO RELEASE GAMES ON RIVALLING PLATTFORMS? No? So they seem to care about exclusivity. They don't want you to play their games on RIVALLING PLATTFORMS, so they are in COMPETITION!! Sony releases their games on PC? Why are they doing that if the PS5 was tgeir main focus?! Some years ago i've been told by fanboys that this would "never ever happen"!! If i was in charge at Sony not one single first party would get wasted on a brokem 3rd class plattform like the PC!! I would keep everything exclusive at ALL COSTS, even if it would cost me millions!! PC gamers would cry they want a PC version but soon realize that our games would only be on Playstation, so many would at least buy a PS as a second choice system. I would offer them experiences only availible on Playstation. I would revive the NeGCon a twistable controller and add force feedback to it! The same goes for the JoGCon and the G Con Light gun. I would keep it exclusive om my console at all costs no matter ehat investors say. That would pump the value of my system. Right now Playstation is starting to loose its soul. Where arr the games i can ONLY PLAY ON PLAYSTATION and not on PC(/Xbox/NS)?! If Sony (Bamco) decided to make a new G-con Light gun i would even help founding if necessary!!
