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.

Thats essentially what i was saying earlier

This is why I asked "have I missed something?"

Sounds like we are on the same lines then.

 

To add, I feel that Switch has almost Wii-level amount of success but also a more condensed hardcore fanbase than the Wii which will drive most the franchises to new heights in sales. It's a promising time for Nintendo IPs.
