Also Nintendo Life Poll form a little less than a year ago has

23% handheld more than 80% of the time

37% on T.V. more than 80% of the time

34% uses fairly equally (30-70% T.V.)

This has 18807 Votes

This is only 18807 people out of how many owners ? close to 90M. This is just 0.02% of all switch owners. It's not enough.

Also just because you have friends that play more handheld doesn't mean whole world is the same.

I've talked with many of the customers in the store that I worked in and they are playing primary in handheld mode.

Yeah, but its also the main evidence we have, you have presented nothing but anecdotal, while I have presented both anecdotal and an actual statistic, you are swatting all evidence away because it isn't large enough of a data pool. .02% of data (And at the time it was 70 Million, not the 90 Million you claim) is still greater than your provided .000012% assuming you talked to 10 people.

Plus when there is only three options we are statistically much more like to start getting the true numbers when we hit well below this number.  Kind of like how it is possible to hit 9/10 tails or higher,  much more often than getting at least 65/100 tails, 1.07% vs .18%. Statistically speaking I am much more likely to be right, even if a hundred people tell you a percentage the statistics simply suggests that the Nintendo Life poll is more likely to be correct. I'm not saying these numbers are accurate, I'm saying statistically the margin of error is less than your belief and your knowledge of some customers.

As for the the friends thing I did specifically say anecdotal evidence is the lowest form of evidence in science, fascinatingly you followed it up with what? Anecdotal evidence.
