Looks like you have trouble to keep your bias in check. You keep insisting that Switch sells because it's a handheld, then turn around to admit that the hybrid sells more because people want to play it on the TV.

RFA will keep selling and will eventually reach Wii Fit numbers. You said motion controls were a fad, yet here we are and have a game that people like you would have predicted to have no chance to sell 10m+, but it's already safe to say that it will clear that bar with ease. Calling Labo a big motion control initiative shows a severe lack of understanding on your part; Labo was a product very similar to Wii Music, more toy than game. Wii Music couldn't achieve success during the peak of the Wii, unlike later games like Wii Sports Resort and Wii Fit Plus. Also, what's the sudden difference between motion controls and fitness appeal? In your mind it was all a fad anyway, with distinctions only becoming necessary once your simplistic point of view begins to show a lack of coherence.

I think you're the one not keeping your bias in check. Do you honestly think if the Switch was twice as powerful, but only a home console, it would have fared as well? Hell no. It's because it's a handheld that people can play on the go and easily hook it up to the TV when at home. You also have the multiplayer on the go with the Joycons.

And we'll see how RFA continues to sell. Right now it's at 5.8M after a year. Wii Sports Resort was at 7.6M after 6 months. I highly doubt it reaches the 33M of Sports Resort. Even more unlikely to hit 42M that the Balance Board did.

And funny that you just dismiss Labo as Wii Music. Nintendo thought it was going to be a big hit and push HW sales while they had a slight drought in SW output. That obviously didn't happen, causing them to miss their quarterly projection. It's obvious they had big plans for it with more kits. Maybe it would have done better if they acted like it was for fitness.

Umm.... You do know that your argument is a double edged sword right? Would the switch sell as well if it was only a handheld? I doubt it.
