Debating between direct and indirect comp and debating on Home vs Handheld is not downplaying....why are so many people reaching? heck I wasn't even in the debate and I saw no hate. I even saw those same people saying it was a smart move and a hit for Nintendo with the hybrid but yet that is downplaying? Like come on people. 

The clux of the argumentation I've seen from one side came as a desperate effort in not recognizing the Switch as a device that should compete in direct opposition with other home consoles because of it's broad offering despite having feature akin of what you find in any home console devices. Does it come from hate ? Absolutely not. That's way too strong of a word to even say such a thing, annoyance may be what you're searching for instead.

Annoyance yeah that can be said. But that can be said for just about any and everything to be honest but I can actually respect that more than someone saying downplaying or hating. Heck during the Wii era it was said that it was not direct comp with the PS4/XB1 and it seemed to be a general consensus. The PS3/XB360 directly competed and the Wii indirectly. Not sure why it is all of a sudden such a big deal with saying it about the Switch.

Whoa RULING the market until AT LEAST 2022....now that is a bold claim. And when you say ruling what exactly do you mean?

#1 Global Hardware sales until 2022. At least maybe longer. We will see if that starts in 2018 or 2019 soon!

So then if that is the case why in your previous post did you put the PS4 as the #2 console and XB1 as the #3? Wouldn't the PS4 be number 1 since it is the #1 console in global hardware sales for 2018? Or are you saying you think the Switch will be #1 for 2018? Lastly so you are saying the Switch will be the number one global console until 2022 at the LEAST. So what are you Switch sales predictions for those years then?
