 So Carl is he talking nonsense?  Should be be mocked.  After multiple attacks on my character I'm glad it didn't take long for someone with the same opinion to show.  And for the record there are lots more like us with the same opinion.  

If Kyuu starts to argue about how the Switch has to match 3DS and Wii U combined to continue to be a success for Nintendo, then yeah, the chances are that he will be mocked for talking nonsense.

There was no attack on your character, I just said that what you were saying was nonsense. Give your head a shake.

Now this is nonsense. Because I've clarified on multiple occasions that the Switch doesnt need to beat this combination of consoles to be considered a success.  

 

But certain people including yourself continue to ignore this point time and time again. 

 

Like are you going to continuing ignoring it even after I just clarified again? I'll repeat it one more time just incase.  

 

The Switch being a success is not dependent on it outselling the consoles it's succeeding (Wii U + 3DS).

If the Switch isn't the successor of the 3DS as well as the Wii U, is it just getting a mainline Pokémon for the lulz?

Companies often say that things that aren't totally true (Nintendo did say the DS wasn't a successor to the GBA...). They can't just outright say that the Switch will replace the 3DS while the 3DS is selling perfectly well, but we are still allowed to apply a little bit critical thought to what Nintendo or any other company says, right?

The Switch being a successor to the 3DS and the Wii U does not mean it needs to outsell them combined to be a success (though I think it will), because neither the 3DS nor the Wii U were particularly successful for Nintendo in terms of profit. The 3DS did well enough unit-wise, but Nintendo had to bleed a lot to achieve that, which deeply affected their bottom line. They don't have to do the same with the Switch because the Switch is a much better value proposition than the 3DS was at launch, so Nintendo's bottom line will be much more postively affected by the Switch than the 3DS could manage.

Glad to see yer another person agreeing with me. And there are many more like you.

Wait.....we're going so far in this Kerotan argument we're actually going to DENY that the Switch is a 3Ds replacement?

.....

.... lol

Come on. Let's use legitimate points. Can't be that hard to peg Kerotan.

Yes people continue to deny it's replacing the 3DS. We will laugh in years to come when we remember these times.

Too late! The fact that you got wet talking about kerotan will now forever be a part of VGC history

Jesus imagine what he'd be like if I returned to my scantily dressed sexy king Kerotan avatar.. .

Then the first 6 months:

I have 1 3DS, and 1 Wii U = 2

I have 1 Switch = 1 

I like to compromise since Switch is hybrid but isn't 2 consoles.

So 3DS+Wii U/2 = Switch

Ex for WW:  70m 3DS+ 12m Wii U/ 2= 41m

Should be easy for Switch, so we could raise the ratio in 3DS's favor since at least 45m+ 3DS owners don't own a Wii U.

This is a good take and an idea I'd get behind.  So now I've 2 comparisons I'm interested in. Switch vs 3DS/Wii U.  And Switch vs 3DS+WiiU/2
