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

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.

Exactly.  Case in point, I bought a Switch, and yes I own a 3DS.  But, I also own a Wii U and an Xbox One.  The Switch didn't replace my 3DS exclusively.  It replaced all of them, because I am using as both a console and a portable.

Also, owning a 3DS or Vita doesn't mean you bought a Switch to replace them.  For me, I have a 3DS but didn't have any current gen home consoles until the Switch.  When BOTW was announced, I was prepared to get a Wii U to play it, but then the Switch was later announced so I got that instead.  And I haven't replaced the 3DS with the Switch--I've bought games for both systems regularly since purchasing the Switch.  So for me, the Switch is thought of more as a home console, even though I had a 3DS too.
