The Switch is a hybrid system. It works as both, and is used as both, as inumerous surveys from Nintendo and third party shows, and as many other evidence shows, clearly stated in my previous post.Just as much as it is used as a portable system, it is also heavily used as a stationary system in Japan.

And what does the Coronavirus has anything to do with the Switch doing well/bad and the PS5 doing well/bad?

The simple fact that it can be used portably is counteractive to the point you are trying to make.

IF the switch was solely a console and it was selling well, then you would have an argument on your hands. 

But that isn't the case. As long as the switch has the advantage of being portable in a portable market means that it was always going to see a level or success that console only devices wouldn't be able to.

Dual usage of the Switch is of course a selling point too. If you own the device for it's portability first, that doesn't mean that you disregard it's functionality as a console. 

And Covid 19 means that many ppl in Japan underwent a lockdown period too. So console based games are naturally going to see a lift (as we've seen in other markets too).R

Ringfit selling well doesn't tell us that consoles can thrive in Japan. It tells us that console software can.

But again, as long as the Switch allows itself to be portable, you can't make the argument that consoles can sell well in Japan unless you have a actual evidence that a large enough percentage of ppl are buying the switch 100% only for console use. 

Provide that evidence then we can discuss this further. 

Switch is the console of schroedinger. When it is of convenience, let's say someone point out lack of power, then "it is a portable system so it won't have the same power as a console", but if someone say it doesn't directly compete with PS or Xbox "it is a console so it compete", etc.
