It's so fun, your turn. :)

Leaving a market means not competing in it unfortunately for your argument Switch is competing in it which makes you argument false by default side stepping this fact doesn't do anything for your argument.

Is trying to avoid a discussion that has been discussed for ages in all forums of the internet a thousand times since NSW was released and that in the end will not change, side stepping?

You missed when I said that I committed a mistake in my statement regarding 12 months. Incorrect exaggeration.

"Wii was an exception. NES and SNES barely had competition.

My mistake was saying 12 months. Wii U had Smash, MK, Mario 2D, Mario 3D, DKC, Zelda. This is "almost every big franchise"."

Regarding exceptions. I don't make general rule statements considering exceptions. If you do, you and me can't have a proper discussion. Every time I discuss Nintendo, I always remove Wii or I add it as a bubble and exception, not as a rule to Nintendo's home console business performance. Nintendo has never had a home console with that performance after Sony entered the market. Actually, Nintendo home console business has been shrinking since Nintendo's first home console. That's the Nintendo home console sales rule (except Wii). If I were a Nintendo sales analyst, I'd always put Wii on parenthesis.

You may disagree with that, but there's no way round it with me. The same with NSW that I'll never consider part of the home console business. An army of people can tell me I'm wrong based on a thousand reasons, which is fair but I don't care.

The premisses that I don't discuss and I don't negotiate:

- Nintendo home console business has been decreasing since ever (except Wii) from 60m NES to 13m Wii U.

- Nintendo left the home console business after Wii U.

- God exists.

All impossible to prove statements! Neat!

Can you prove the contrary?

Prove that Nintendo home console sales hasn't been decreasing since NES, that Nintendo still has a current generation home console for sale and that God doesn't exist for sure. :)

At least it's honest. It doesn't happen often that someone outright says that it's not possible to have a reasonable discussion with them.

I'm having a reasonable discussion.

We can both deploy brilliant logic expressions, but the results will depend based on the basic premises.

The premise that NSW is a home console just because you can also play at home doesn't work for me. NSW is an entirely different beast than a current gen standard home console. It's totally different in technology, specs, screen, portability, etc.

Call it hybrid. But a home console like PS4/X1. It's not. It's more a tablet like iPad than a home console like PS4/X1.
