Everyone can play Donkey Kong Bananza on their TV sets with NS2 and a joypad in hand, just like in the old days with Donkey Kong Country on SNES, Donkey Kong 64 on N64 or Donkey Kong Country Returns on WII. Even better, they can choose between TV mode, handheld mode, or tabletop mode in any given session—and even switch modes mid-game if they feel like it.
Also people can play to PlayStation's Lego Horizon Adventures on Switch on their TV sets if they wish so.
PlayStation fanboys should cherish their memories of bickering with Xbox fanboys because, of the two twins, Xbox was always conveniently the "dim-witted" sibling (weaker party).
That dynamic just doesn't translate to Nintendo whose big success and unique business model set it apart from the other external big corporations that joined the videogame console business after its establishment.
Yes, Switch 1 & 2 are portables but have tv out, like PSP2000, PSP3000, PSP Go and all these Android and PC handhelds.
Switch also has the Sony made (even if not published by them there) MLB The Show.
Apparently, Nintendo's the only one that understands Exclusives Still Matter.
No, it's the only big publisher whose non-top selling games have low enough budgets to continue being profitable in a single console.
Which isn't the case for the AAA publishers, who see that their budgets skyrocket every generation but the revenue they generate doesn't grow at the same pace. So in the last 2-3 generations expanded their multiplatform and GaaS businesses to chase extra revenue and better profitability.
Btw, PlayStation has many exclusives even if some are console exclusives, crossgen, or timed. And constantly break records in most metrics, in many cases not only for them but for any console maker in gaming history. Meaning they are performing better than Nintendo in most areas. Sony is so successful that soon PlayStation will be the only home console left after having defeated all their direct competitors. And now has the majority of the console market share when also including Nintendo's portable. Meaning, Sony knows what they are doing.
There is no console war between Sony and Nintendo to win. One companies success doesn't negatively impact the other. They serve different segments of the market. In the areas where they do converge, they are supplementary to each other for most of this market segment.
Yep, right now they aren't directly competing as they did in the past. In portables Nintendo won and Sony moved away with PS Vita, so Nintendo got the portables market for themselves.
In the opposite way, Sony won in home consoles and Nintendo moved away WiiU to focus on portables. And now PS killed Xbox, PlayStation will have the home console market for them.
As of now, they work as two complementary markets with different market behaviour, demographics and relatively little business overlap.
But seems it may change in 2-3 years because apparently Sony is making a portable. I assume conceptually will be a next gen PS Portal successor that now can also run the games natively.

. And here I am arguing with a dude tied to a piece of hardware. One is a platform and the other is hardware. Get it right.
