If you add the people who bought 3DS and Wii U, then you see who is buying Switch. Mobile fans. Also you can see that with Japan exploding. Take all Japan sales to see how many Switchs are selling elsewere. That doesn´t mean that some others are, but are not the core buyers.

The whole argument falls apart in this paragraph.

Japan is Switch's worst market, the market dominated by handhelds. Switch is well ahead of 3DS in America & Europe but far behind in Japan.

3DS sales 2011+2012, 27.4 million

Japan-9.8 million

Outside Japan-17.6 million

Switch sales 2017+2018, ~30 million

Japan-~6.8 million

Outside Japan-~23.2 million
