So I am missing something. I thought the conversation came from combining 3DS and Wii sales of a game and using that number to predict Switch sales for a sequel of that game.

I was only following the conversation loosely so probably interpreted it wrong. 

Yes thats what we were talking about so how does your last post relate to that?

I think you understand what I'm saying then. What you probably want to discuss is if we should combine Wii and 3DS sales of a franchise to predict Switch sales  of that franchise because Switch is portable and also a home console.

I think we should to a certain degree but not as straightforward as A + B = C but something along the lines of A + (B*x%) = C to  factor in that a good percentage of people that are a fan of that franchise probably double dipped and bought both Wii and 3DS versions. 

That's not to say that there will not be any growth for the franchise on Switch but that could be other factors coming in to play.
