Why is Wii U vs Switch not good? 

When you got sites comparing PS4 vs Switch. Or XB1 vs Switch

 

Unless its like: 

In Japan: Switch vs 3DS

In America and EU : Switch vs PS4

Well mainly because Wii U and Switch are so different. For one thing Switch is much more likely to get revisions and for people to buy 2nd Switches, while the Wii U never got any. But mainly, the Wii U just never had that much appeal outside of the Nintendo hardcore, while Switch clearly appeals to a lot more people. Not much point comparing it to something that you're pretty much 100% sure it will beat either

PS4 vs Switch seems like a good comparison (except for Japan where it's pretty obvious what will happen). I'd expect PS4 to still come out on top in US/EU but it's still a good comparison to seeing how the Switch fares. Same for Xbox, I'd expect Switch to come out on top in that one, but it's still a decent comparison to see how they fare against each other and to predict when Switch will pass Xbox lifetime sales.

 

Thats true. I thought it was just as simple as: 

- Comparing it as a console to other consoles

- Comparing it to its past products.
