Why people need to buy 2 versions, handheld and home console are quite different, how many 3DS owners have Wii U!? Definitely not many, theoreticly in best case one of five. You realise that 3DS/Wii U combined had shipment around 15-20m in their first year!? So it not unusual that Nintendo is targeting 20m of NX devices in first year. |
That is the point, if they don't need to buy both them you can't sum both their numbers.
You said best case is one of five (that would mean all 3DS owners have a WiiU, it isn't impossible, but also not likely)... But on a 50M 3DS and 10M WiiU userbase how much is their combined userbase? Something along 50 and 60M... ignoring multiple 3DS owners, I would say their combined is like 52-55M.
So if their combined was 15-20M I have very strong reasons to not believe they can make 20M on NX
