A third? You mean Half right?

3DS/XL/2DS same hardware. (2DS is equivalent to the slim)

N3DS/NXL/2DSXL is the upgraded one.

 

Your comparing the switch to wiiu+3ds but again as others explained thats not how it works. If anything makes sense it would be more of software combine than hardware. 

 

Your goalpost are always to make sony look good and nintendo to look bad. Best example would be in the Amazon thread after holidays you were bragging how nintendo hw and sw were going down then when it actually stayed strong now your going back to your last resort psn cards to spin it in your favor. Bravo

I'm sorry but in the real world that's how it works. It's the reality that Nintendo now have 1 console instead of 2. They previously could sell a home console and a handheld. Now they have a hybrid. 

 

To them they will be comparing their sales to last gen. In Japan I believe they will fall short. WW I believe they can beat the Wii u and 3ds. So this is most certainly a fair comparison. 

 

If they had made just a portable I'd compare it to the 3ds only. If they made switch home console only I'd compare it to Wii u only. 

 

I know you don't take take kindly too these words because you are heavily favoured towards Nintendo but it's reality. Bravo is right. 

Switch will easily sell more software than the 3DS and Wii U combined, in every region.

That's what really counts. 

Outselling both combined hardware wise also looks very do-able. Wii U dropped off a cliff after its launch, so it won't be hard for the Switch to start closing the gap next year. 

Switch is also selling very comfortably at a $300 price tag while the 3DS needed a huge price cut to start selling well.  

All things considered Nintendo's position is a lot better now than it was during the 3DS / Wii U era. Spin all you want, but it won't make it any less true.
