I don’t think the Switches home console portion is as meaningless as you‘re making it out to be. Pretty much everyone expected the lite to outperform the OG model in Japan because of the handheld centric nature of it as well as the lower pricepoint, but that just didn‘t happen. Even heading into the holidays it seems as if the roughly 2/3 to 1/3 split in favour of the dockable sku will hold. Additionally everything points to the Switch lite reaching a new demographic/selling as a secondary device, since it pretty much didn‘t eat into the OG skus sales. That means that consumers not only view Switch as a home console and care about it being able to be one, but specifically buy it because it is also a home console. |
I'm not saying it's meaningless lol, I'm just saying there's no way to know the numbers. So how can we compare with numbers we don't have? Better to not include Switch at all rather than just guess and say "uh ok, if Switch could only be used on a TV it would have still sold (9m/7m/5m in Japan)"
