Wii U had them and was home console only. And how many people bough it ? how many ? not even 14M. Pathetic ..

I mean if this is the core of your argument, Switch is almost outselling Wii U and 3DS combined and even if your cliff theory is anything close to reality (which I don't believe it is) Switch lifetime sales would be 130 MI, a 40 million surplus. And this of course not counting double ownership. Indeed I'm convinced the majority Wii U owners are hardcore Nintendo fans who also owned a 3DS, but let's pretend there is no double ownership for a second

Let's say 100% of Switch userbase is from former 3DS owners (not true yet, but will likely be true eventually) and they exclusively play undocked (doubt to be true, but let's pretend). That's 76 million against a supposed 130 million Switch LTS. Considering 100% of Wii U owners bought a Switch why do you think the surplus of 40 million are all from other handhelds users and not from home console users? 

I mean, last generation handhelds sold a mere 16 million outside 3DS (Vita)

Meanwhile home consoles sold 165 million outside Wii U (PS4+Xbox)

Isn't clear home console market number of customers is just... you know... bigger and more likely to buy a Switch than a pretty such nonexistent handheld market?
