Well the sales of Switch clearly show that uniting the 2 platforms into 1 makes it appealing to new consumers who would never have bought either on their own.  

 

I've also acknowledge that this comparison is also valid as it addresses the overlapping userbase.  

 

Switch vs 3DS+WiiU/2

This isn’t how math works. Taking the average of the two numbers does not address anything. Expanding their market introduces a new variable that is unrelated to the overlap. All of this is still ignoring that hardware sales are far from the be-all, end-all. Are you truly unable to grasp the difference between selling 80 million total hardware across two platforms and selling 80 million hardware for a single platform?
