Well.. the Wii was a home console. And I believe it competed directly because it took away that casual crowd that typically flocked to PS consoles. I also believe that the 7th gen created (or emphasized) a clear distinction in gamers. I don't like using the phrase but let's call them hardcore and casuals (personally I would prefer traditional and non-traditional but don't want  be accused of making up any categories). One can argue that the same traditional gamer space is the exact same space the PS4/XB1 is still competing in today. Last gen that space accounted for about 160M in sales. So far this gen it's tracking for around 140M. Will probably closes this gen at around 160M/170M when its all said and done.

I concur... maybe this would just be better if we just changed it all to Nintendo vs Playstation v Xbox. And jus track total gaming devices sales from each platform for regardless of gen or form factor.

You do realize that Nintendo would win that, right?

So? If thy do then they deserve to. What's that got to do with anything?

Dude, you are as transparent as glass. It was Sony who STARTED the "PlayStation Family" of sales where they combined sales of all their hardware and only stopped when the Vita bombed. Again, WHY are you trying to make the gaming industry different when judging total sales? As I've said before, when the Switch outsells the PS4, goalposts will move so far that they will be light-years away. This thread is just the tip the of the iceberg. Just look at how long it is. There's a ton of salt building up due to the Lite selling well. Its kinda sad actually. Also notice how many say, "the Switch sales will fall off a cliff when the PS5 comes out". So suddenly the PS5 is a handheld? Or when the PS5 comes out the Switch morphs into a console again? You guys are pathetic. Meh.

Was reading from the bottom up... now what you said above makes sense.

Where you are taking this... this doesn't need to go. Its a pity there isn't an ignore button on here.  Cause your energy is just all wrong.
