Well if Vita matters the Wii U matters in the context of this conversation. And considering half the switches 1st party line up are Wii U ports I'd say it definitely should be included. 

Yeah, you are right.  I was just kidding.

My point is that Japanese gaming is handheld gaming.  I mean, PS4 is big worldwide while Vita is considered niche.  But in Japan the numbers are PS4 = 7.4m and Vita = 5.9m.  Vita is actually not that far behind the PS4 in Japan. (And 3DS = 24.4m)  It's just a handheld gaming culture. 

On top of that I'm sure most PS4 or Wii U owners have a handheld console in their household too.  I'm not sure how much overlap there is, but to be conservative I am only saying 3DS + Vita, and that would still put the Switch at 30m+.

And on gaming ofering for the japanese Vita probably had a lot more than PS4 as well.
