If NX serves as both a handheld and home console how does one measure it against the past? Is it fair to compare it to the N64 or any other past N home consoles (leaving aside non-N consoles) when all those past consoles targetted a narrower market?
If, as most suspect, NX is targeting home console and handheld gamers is it more apples to apples to compare N64+ Game Boy sales during the N64 years?
Arguably, because in pretty much every generation Nintendo's handheld hardware has sold better than its home console hardware, NX should be primarily tracked as a handheld device, with home console application. Thus its sales should be compared to past gen handheld devices rather than home console devices. And in terms of head to head 9th gen sales (assuming Xb one 2 and PS5 ever happen) it's the lone handheld on the market and it is not tracked as a home console along with whatever SOny and MS put out.
