its simple. i gave my explanations. nintendo handhelds dominated the market, but now mobile is changing that and willl continue to effect handhelds, nintendo consoles, are a very small market, i don't buy that wiiu was a shit console, its just there was no market for it. switch will be a very front loaded console. nintendo games are not enough to push it over 70 million with the mobile market where it is now. 

It doesn't add up. If smart devices were a threat, then Nintendo putting games on them should decrease sales of Nintendo handhelds. But we've seen the opposite happen. 3DS sales went up after Pokémon Go and it had a sustained positive effect.

You dislike Nintendo so much that you are willing to defend the Wii U in order to have a better argument. For shame. "It wasn't a bad console, it's just that there was no market for it." - That's quite the contradiction. Any good console will build a market for itself.

sure what ever you say. For me N64, gc and even wiiu to a much lesser extent are better home consoles then switch. for a person that doesn't care about handheld gaming what does switch offer. a console thats much 4x-5x weaker then consoles released nearly 4 years ago. for a handheld device it's great though

how many kids do you see carrying a ipad or gaming on a phone it's very common. parents used to have buy handhelds to keep kids occupied while going out or going on trips, now they just take there ipad or game on there mobile phone , there is way more entertainment on the go, then there ever was when 3ds launched.   the fact i have to explain this to you is laughable.
