Nintendo is committing a lot of the same lethal mistakes they did with the WiiU, and more.

i never once said markets dont exist, i said i think Switch is doing so well because its tapping into multiple different markets.

You didn't use the words "markets don't exist", but you give answers like a person who doesn't think markets exist.  You said that customers come from people who owned the PS4, XB1, Wii U, 3DS, Vita, or PC, plus lapsed gamers and possibly more.  That answer basically says that customers could come from anywhere.  That is not a meaningful answer.  It is not an answer from a person who tried to analyze a market.

Instead it is an answer that basically says, "I don't know".  Perhaps if you don't know then you assume that no one else can know too?  I am actually giving a falsifiable explanation.  "Switch customers are mostly coming from the handheld market".  I am willing to listen to someone who has a better explanation.  But saying that the customers could come from anywhere is neither a better or worse explanation.  It is a non-explanation.

No, im saying Switch appeals to multiple different markets. Its literally the entire purpose of its design.

Just limiting it to handheld or home consoles is too broad and doednt address the individual demographics within them.
