Excellent, good to see that common sense will prevail.

PS4 and Pro weren't separated, the OG Xbone and the Xbone S/X weren't separated, 3DS and 2DS weren't separated, Vita and Vita TV weren't separated, there's absolutely no reason for the Lite and the base Switch to be separated, it's just a revision of the same hardware.

Thank you for your efforts and those of the rest of the staff.

Funny enough... I have not said that its sales should be separated.

I am more interested in being people refusing to at least admit that it's not the same console that was released in 2017. For the very reasons, they championed back then...

If anything... my agenda is that the switch should be called what I always said it was before it launched... a handheld. That just happens to be able to plug into a TV.

Another interesting take on this... if the Switch goes onto sell 130M units. Of which 90M of those ales come from the lite (strictly handheld version) is the platform still considerd as a hybrid?

2DS isn't the same system that launched in 2011, Pro isn't the same PS4 that launched in 2013, revisions changing fundamental aspects of a system is nothing new.

As for the age old question of "is the Switch a handheld/hybrid/console" I honestly think that's a pointless argument. Call it whatever you want, it ultimately doesn't matter.
