That's good and all but it's a pity it can't succeed the sales of the consoles it's actually succeeding. It will struggle to surpass just the 3DS and that's only 1 of the consoles.  

 

As I said sales are healthy but this puts it into perspective. 

You do realize that Wii U had a relatively strong start in Japan, but started faltering soon after? As time goes on the gap will become bigger and bigger. 

3DS sold over 20 million units in Japan alone. Wii U sold just over 3 milllion. In other words: irrelevant numbers. 

And Switch is still supply constrained and won't need a huge early price cut like the 3DS did.

That definitely puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

You're trying to make it sound like 3DS+Wii U will be around 23m. In fact combined they are already over 26.5m and will sell at least 28m+ in the end.  Let's see if switch can beat that.  

 

As I said Switch only needs to sell 20m+ to be successful in Japan (hell I'd even argue 15m+) but let's keep things in perspective when talking about how successful it is.
