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 Because even though the PS4 wasn't originally made to replace their handhelds, it certainly has at this point considering how they stopped supporting the Vita properly years ago, so one could say that the PS4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. 

I understand your point but I disagree.  If ps4 was a hybrid then yes we could say it needs to sell ps3 + psp numbers.  But it's a traditional home console so that would be ridiculous.  

 

If ps5 has a hybrid sku then we would be saying it needs to sell ps4 + vita numbers. 

Well you don't understand my point then, but whatever you can try to use that logic all you want, I won't since that makes no sense at all. 

Also @ bolded: You can try to spin it all you want, but the Switch being a hybrid doesn't mean it's not a home console anymore. Just because it can now do both the same as Nintendo's portable as well doesn't mean it is not still a home console as well. Nintendo has said and marketed it this entire time as a console you can take on the go. Acting like because it does something else as well means that it can't be compared to other 'traditional home consoles' in your mind is ridiculous.
