I guess that's the logic people use. Although, from my observations, people say Switch should outsell 3DS + Wii U due to Nintendo moving all resources onto one platform. Does Sony actually do anything for the Vita though? It would seem they also dedicate all resources to one platform. I agree with you, either way, it's silly logic. |
I don't really see a problem with that argument as long as the conclusions people take from it are consistent with the argument at larger. The Vita was marketed as a successor to the PSP, and is considered a failure. The PS4 was marketed as the successor to the PS3, and is considered a success. The Switch is currently marketed as the merging of Nintendo's markets, so people comparing it to a comparable 8th gen merging makes sense. It's ultimately fairly pointless (as with the majority of such comparisons), but the argument has no inherent logic breaks as long as it's presented wholly. At its core it's not much different than when people compare the overall sales of a brand in any given time period.
