I'm not talking about the middle group. I'm saying that there are 30% using it primarily as a handheld, versus 20% using it primarily as a home console. 30% is 50% more than 20% (20*1.5=30, it is 10 percentage points more, but that isn't the same thing). I made no mention of the 50% group, because we don't have data on the split, other than the difference is smaller than a factor of 4. Hence talking about that group is pure guesswork.

Yes, it competes as a hybrid, because it is a hybrid, but like I said, ofcourse we can still make distinctions about which mode is used the most, and how that affects sales.

In order to declare portable is used more you need to know the use among that 50% which you have just admitted you don't so therefore declaring what mode is used more is nothing more than an assumption so that so called distinction is not there because this 52% are buying the platform for both modes and may use one more than the other which means that either the 20/30 percent may still be a majority in use this is the flaw in what both you and him are arguing.

Yes, in order to declare that, we do need that data. Luckily, I am not declaring that portable mode is used more. I'm "declaring" (if by declaring, you mean quoting Nintendo's own data) that among those that have a factor of 4 or more difference between the two modes, the portable mode is represented 50% more.

There is nothing to argue here. Unless you believe Nintendo's stats are wrong...
