The switch lite is not just handheld only switch. The switch lite is this - lite model. It not the full package, it has smaller battery and smaller screen. And in time of phones (with normal and beefed models) and Pro consoles many people (casual gamers and not so hardcore) just take the full package model because on most of the tech the lite models are missing more than just battery and screen and the mass buyer or casual gamer are not exactly sure what they are missing with the lite model. Therefore most of the people go to the normal switch naturally. Even if they want to play only handheld. So 15M sold Lite units doesn't mean directly only 15M of switch users bought and use it primary as a handheld. There is no research about that we can't be sure but I've worked in store and I've seen how many and many people when they come and are not sure about some cheaper lite model (of whatever tech) they just pick the expensive one just to be on the safe side and to know that they are getting the full package. Next year we will see, because it's pointless to argue here. Until we don't see the result, we can argue as long as we want and it is pointless. Those were just predictions. |
Nintendo's own data has already been posted showing that only 30% of Switch owners played primarily in handheld mode. Myself and many others bought it to use primarily or in significant part as a console. Nintendo has also stated on the matter that total docked vs undocked use was roughly 50-50.
