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

But both are connected.You cant draw a conclusion basing on one evidence while ignoring the other.I wouldnt have a problem if you didnt have a conclusion and just pointed out this coincidence.But you did say that people treated it as a handheld.That is a conclusion.

I am saying it is selling like a handheld.  To be precise, I think 80%+ of Switch owners also own a 3DS or Vita.  It is mostly selling to the handheld market.

Perception and use is somewhat different, and I think you are right about them.  For example, a lot of people may just use it as a hybrid and view it as a hybrid.  But I think think most of these people also own a 3DS or Vita.  I'm only commenting on sales behavior and not on how people actually use the device or perceive it.

Owning a 3DS or a Vita dosent mean they dont own a PS4, a Wii U or a XOne either.And that 80% seems to come out of nowhere.And even being such a owner dosent mean you use it exclusively as it, specially since we have hard data that the usage of the Switch is about evenly split.But fine.If thats all you mean, I guess you could be right, though i dont see what useful conclusion you could arrive from it.

I just had the impression, and Im guessing that Im not alone, that you were implying more than that.
