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

I don't think they are competitors nearly as much as one might think. If you draw a Venn diagram of people who are thinking of buying a Playstation and others who are thinking about the Switch, they don't really overlap very much, I think. Both companies have very specific propositions in terms of both hardware and software. Do you need portability or not? Do you want AAA story driven big budget productions that Sony is known for(or used to be until they lost their minds), or do you want your Mario, Zelda and such?
Of course there are some who want everything, and other whose taste in games change as they mature in age, that also happens.

What uneducated people, mostly the worker class thinks is: Nintendo is for Kiddies, if they mature they play Playstation. Its like saying Lady Gaga is the best musician in the world because the radio always plays her music. In fact its teenagers who search for the so called "cool thing", playing harmless popcorn entertainment for 13 year olds like Call Of Duty, Fifa or Fartnite... my 13 years old cousin plays COD. Most of them are in puberty trying to impress ladies by playing "the strong man". Reallity is different: When i was in my 20s i went on (student)parties. We also where learning together. Guess what console we played? Gamecube, Wii, (3)DS, Mario Kart. Today its Switch. If you go in the worker class Playstation is the way to go. When you are 14- 20 its what people play. But when you mature you are also fine with the Switch. Thats my personal experience and Nintendo's own researches totally reflect that. 43% of all users are 25- 35 years old. People can downvote or insult me but it does not change facts.

Well, I did not say anything like that, but clearly this hit a nerve with you. Calm down and listen to the birds chirping.
