Small to moderate win for Switch 2 in the USA. There will be a small to moderate win for PS5 in Europe. Japan will obviously be a landslide for Switch 2. In some other areas like China, Oceania, South America, the Middle East, Africa and so on it could probably go either way.
Globally? Probably a small win for Switch 2 but it could go either way.
Switch 2 has plentiful stock, is a hot new item and has a growing library of Nintendo games. It also helps that in the USA Switch 2 is $50 cheaper than the Digital Edition of PS5 and $100 cheaper than PS5 with an optical drive.
In the likely event Nintendo raises Switch 2 hardware prices, expect it to happen as early as January but maybe as late as April or May so that they get through their fiscal year first.
