I just wanted it to mention because I can guarantee that if it would be the other way around, if Sony would dominate Nintendo (like in the past), nobody would have a problem to compare whatever product of Sony to whatever product of Nintendo. Nintendo is just always measured with different criteria. I can't stand it.

Personally, I compare home consoles with home consoles and handhelds with handhelds. However, of course, if there's a close race between a handheld and a home console, like we had with the DS and the PS2, it becomes interesting to compare the two as well. The Switch is neither a home console nor a handheld, it's a hybrid, the first of its kind. We have two options for comparisons: 1. Compare it to nothing (as there isn't any other hybrid) or 2. Compare it to PS4 and Xbox One (some want to compare it to PS5 and Xbox Series X/S but whatever...). Obviously, the 2nd choice is much more interesting;)

But if I'm not wrong last generation was PS4 / Wii U / Xbox One ?

So this gen is Switch / PS5 / Xbox Serie X|S no ?

----------------------

PS4 / Game Boy will be ultra close at Lifetime sales. It will be funny when the numbers will be almost the same .

Gens are an archaic classification in regards to the multi brand console market, it just doesn't work, one console may be competing with multiple iterations of the same brand, little is in sync as it once was
