Hint: because the vita and PS4 were not supply constrained by lack of availability of manufacturing components.

People don't line up for things they can buy easilly.

Also, do you want me to act surprised that a handheld console is selling better than a home console, in Japan of all places?, like.. really?

i guess it doesn't...if you portray the Switch as such.

This console is no more a home console than Wii U was a handheld. All the processing for Wii U was in the docked unit, therefore it was a home console. All the processing of Switch is in the handheld unit and therefore, Switch is a handheld. A hybrd would split the processing duties amongst handheld and docked portions. Nintendo has never had a poor selling handheld and Switch is poised to continue that tradition. It is not an insult to call this console a NIntendo handheld.
