Thanks but I was hoping for ww. This is Nintendo's first attempt at combining both a "console" and a handheld and I am curious to see whether or not it can beat the sales of both the 3ds and wiiU combined.

That doesn't make much sense. Don't you think most people who bought a Wii U also bought a 3DS? If Nintendo had skipped straight to the Switch concept after the Wii/DS generation, would you measure its sales against the combined 250 million of the DS + Wii?

The intended benefit of combining home and portable console markets is not to sell twice as much hardware.

Yea but if it does come close or sells more... That would be incredible...

And yea I would cause the comparison would be interesting to make... Cause having a home console and a handheld has their own advantages compared to combining both into one and vice versa. The result of it will be interesting to see on both a hardware sales prespective and a software sales prespective.
