Sorry to barge into this conversation like this but, isn't it also unfair to discount the still decent sales of the 3DS last fiscal year just because its most direct competidor (the Vita) sells/sold poorly? 


The old portable still means a lot to Nintendo's future, so why ignore it in this kind of comparisons?

No need to be sorry, your question is totally fair so here is my reply:

I would never ask of 3DS sales to be discounted or ignored. If the thread had been 3DS vs Vita, 3DS totally crushing Vita in sales, then I would have been totally ok with that as a comparison of 3DS vs Vita is totally fair because they are direct competitors that are fighting for the exact same market: Portables.

It's the fact the thread is pitching Switch + 3DS vs PS4 sales which seems wrong. As Louie said it himself, Vita figures are unknown. So comparing to unknown sales of a system seems kind of an unfair way to put forth figures. And this is just my opinion, you are of course free to disagree

Thank you for the response.

Let me use a little bit of analogy to present my case a little bit better.

The user RolStoppable is the referee in a wrestilling match including both Sony and Nintendo. Sony is clearly the best during a solo hand to hand combat but Nintendo has the upper hand when combos are throw into the misture.

If this was a boxe match. Sony would win without much problems. The same with Nintendo in jiu-jitsu (or something like that, i don't watch this kind of sport! :P)

Would it be fair to exclude certain combos in the wrestiling match just because one of the competidors doesn't know how or is incapable to perform them?
