Oh you mean the part where you are crying out "handheld handheld!" when Nintendo is marketing it as a home console on the go?  You're right, you completely dismantled my point.  Whatever could I have been thinking!

And in case you didn't notice, that was sarcasm.  You haven't provided anything of substance to prove your point at all.  Japan is the go-to for handhelds.  That is fact not opinion.  Japan is a video game market in decline.  That is fact not opinion.  For Nintendo to be so Japan heavy (12 launch titles vs 7 for not Japan, again fact not opinion) is a mistake (the mistake word is an informed opinion).  You want to refute any of that with anything better than "3DS outsells Wii U", im listening.

Your original statement was that handhelds arent a selling point outside of Japan and that we can use that to predict it will sell like Wii U. And yes 3DS selling 4x as much as Wii U outside of Japan directly disproves your point. Switch could sell like Wii U but it won't be because handhelds hold no value outside of Japan.

Also 7 launch titles is outdated info.

I said they arent a major selling point which is completely different than saying they arent a selling point.  Dont twist it to fit your narrative.  Though, i dont think a 2 or 3 hour battery life is going to lend much to the handheld side argument.

 

3ds outselling wii u doesnt disprove my point at all. You are still screaming handheld handheld and ignoring the console first marketing from Nintendo themselves.  Furthermore, if you want to keep screaming handheld handheld i refer back to the huge price cut the 3ds needed early in its life to get to the point it is now and remind you that the switch is more expensive.

 

Edit: also on your launch number, ok 9 now?  And yet still only one major franchise
