You can say what you want, fact is that Nintendo will have 2 from last 3 consoles succfule.

But numbers show you are wrong like usual, fact that 70% PS4/XB1 owners bought Switch means that Switch is more than different enough, we taking about huge percentage, basicly 2/3 of all PS4/XB1 owners bought Switch also in US, why they would do that if Switch isnt difrent enough!? Who cares if Switch is mostly primary or secondary console?

And if you want to ignore the context behind those "2 in 3", so be it.

 

2016

PS4: 17 590 483
XB1: 8 368 621

2017

PS4: 20 144 528
XB1: 7 647 153

This is what irrelvant means.
The most popular console, not only was untouched, it grew despite the 13 097 768 Switchs sold that year.

The only revelant difference between Switch and the others, is portability. But if you look only at that - and you probably will - you'll forget that it came packed with system sellers (two special ones at that) and the fact that by that time, PS4 and XB1 already had 80+Million consoles sold combined.

What those numbers show is that Switch is making it's potential market out of those 80+Million sold. With only 30% of it's sales coming from outside that ecosystem. That's not a healthy situation.
What should be happening is the exact opposite.

Who cares? Well, Nintendo does.
Do you think any company wants to be a complementary thought? That means there's a real danger that when things change (moving on to a new generation, for example), the secondary console may or not be bought. Whereas the primary console is THE priority.

I relly dont understand whats actualy your point, clear fact that 70% of PS4/XB1 owners also bought Switch means that Switch is different enough compare to PS4/XB1 and that you are wrong when said "They are not "different enough". PS3/XB360 and Wii were". I cant believe you trying to argument against clear numbers and facts.

What you posted proves that Switch of irelevent to PS4/XB1 sales/succes same like XB1/PS4 are irrelevant to Switch sales and succes because they are different enough.

Switch has very strong and healthy sales, I can belive you can't spin that in any case.

Nintendo dont care if Switch is selling like primary or secondary console, they care just if is selling. But even with other PS5/XB2 Switch will be good secondary console, Switch will still be different like its different currently. Also Switch is curently bought by plenty of PS4/XB1 owners like secondary console, but how time passing more people will buying it like primary console.
