Calm down there. 

 

I said if Nintendo want to prevent their gaming market size from declining they need to match those sales combined.  I never said it can't be a success if it sells less.  

 

And considering Switch has the ability to sell numbers equal to the combined totals it's definitely a fair comparison to make.  They are combined platforms into 1 after all. 

This is still dumb and nonsensical. Imagine a company manufactures separate refrigerators and freezers. They sell 500 freezers but only 100 refrigerators. Then they start making joint fridge/freezer units, and sell 550 of those. How can you make the case their “market size” declined without knowing the overlap between fridge & freezer buyers? If 60 of their sold fridges were bought by people who had also bought a freezer, their products were in 540 houses, not 600. They actually expanded their market with the new product.

Suppose also that freezers cost $170 and were sold at a loss while fridges cost $300 and were also sold at a loss, and that the new combined units were sold for a profit for $300. While not strictly related to market share, that would be a pretty significant detail to consider when evaluating the market’s response to these products. It would demonstrate, for example, that 600 sales of the older products (several of those being to repeat customers) would not be preferable to 550 sales of the new product, as not only would the market for accessories to these products be larger, but a greater profit would be made up-front.

Yes Thank you! Putting his ideas on another market make the idea soo dumb!
