What an attempt to spin this, lol. 

Switch sale are fantastic, especially considering that it is still heavily supply constrained and that Nintendo is basically selling everything they can produce. 

But here for you to try to downplay it is "but it's gonna replace both consoles so these sales aren't actually that good!1!". 

There are people comparing Switch to consoles they shouldn't.  The only thing Switch should be compared to is 3DS + Wii U.  I've always maintained that. Comparing a hybrid to just a handheld or just a home console is infact moving the posts. 

That logic makes no sense. If you're gonna go with that then that means something like the PS4 can only be compared to PS3 sales. And going by that logic back as well during the last generation the PS3 and PSP were both out, each selling (or shipped) 80 million, for a combined total of over 160 million. So the PS4 current 60 million must be a huge failure in your eyes then going by that. Because even though the PS4 wasn't originally made to replace their handhelds, it certainly has at this point considering how they stopped supporting the Vita properly years ago, so one could say that the PS4 became the main thing instead of a seperate handeld + console just like you're saying with the Switch. 

Do you think that the Switch should cost more than $600 then to make up the combined costs of how much a 3DS + Wii U would be? No, because it's $300, the price of a home console.
