| Kerotan said: When you compare how a console does gen over gen in terms of pure sales you compare it to the console it replaced. This everyone can agree on otherwise you'd be saying ps3 vs ps4 and xb1 vs 360 makes no sense.
Hence why switch can be compared to the Wii u + 3ds as its replaced them both. You can argue there are cons such as single consumers who bought both or you can argue there are pros such as a shared software library but at the end of the day its replacing both of them so can be compared to both.
Pretending it can't is burying your head in the sand. Not everything has to be pro Nintendo. The facts speak for themselves. |
The facts say that it's very likely Wii U owners or most of them are 3DS owners as well why? Because the two platforms aren't two separate userbase they're one userbase who bought two platforms by replacing both of them the userbase now only needs to buy one platform this is why your logic here is getting the responses it has you're trying to peg the total of 3DS+Wii U as the main target despite that this large hole in the argument exists.
You're essentially saying that some consumers have to buy the Switch twice because it replaced two platforms they had prior.
