I never said it's the best comparison but it's a valid one.  Some else suggested the one where you divided the Wii U sales by 2. But then switch has an advantage Wii U didn't where it will probably get multiple cheaper revisions and households or even individuals will purchase a second or third Switch in years to come. 

 

And I never said it's the be all and end all. Why are you making things up to try and create an argument? 

Putting words to your silliness isn’t making things up. The nature of your comparison completely ignores the meaning of a console sale — as a vessel for software sales. Therefore it is treating hardware sales as the end goal.

”Years to come” is a ways off if you’re intent on carrying on with this nonsensical comparison on a weekly basis. And again you are misrepresenting the meaning of hardware sales by claiming hardware revisions will give the Switch an “advantage” by selling to repeat customers. Selling three consoles to one person is no better than selling one console to that person in the long run. A new model can revitalize interest in a console, but repeat sales does not increase the userbase. This is why I say you are treating hardware sales as the be-all end-all.

It's one aspect of the market that can be analysised.  Not every comparison has to revolve around revenue or profits. It's just a straightforward comparison looking at the actual number of consoles sold vs their predecessors.  

 

Again I agree that revenue and software is more important.  

 

@Rol pays for itself and then some.
