Not really because when Nintendo had two platforms you could very well be into one platform and not the other as home gaming and portable gaming are parallel markets with different experiences, while the would be some overlap it wouldn't be 100% or as large as people think because a large amount of portable players would be non Nintendo home platform owners and have a PC, PS or Xbox instead. Essentially Nintendo's two platforms weren't one userbase across two platforms they were two userbases with some overlap. |
The overlap wouldn't be 100% indeed, but not 0% as many suggest.
At the end, what really counts more is the software sales
