Given, but I think PS4 is a bad point of comparison. Switch is a handheld and should be compared to 3DS (which sold better initially). Nethertheless, first hurdle taken, launch is fine. Now onto sustained momentum, we will see if that happens in the next two or three months.

Switch is a succesor to both the 3DS and the Wii U.  So it needs to be compared to them both combined. And it's not beating their combined launches anywhere.  Basically Nintendo's market share is going to decrease compared to last gen if this is really succeeding both handheld and home. 

Well, it's not beating 3DS alone, so not combined.

I'm not sure combined works though. I owned both WiiU and 3DS. To be exact, I owned over the the time 4 3DS. I doubt I'll own 5 Switches. So I don't buy into the argument it should make the combined numbers. It replaces both WiiU and 3DS, so I need only half as much devices.

I think we need a new baseline for hybrids.
