It's not "cherry picking" to compare a quarter's sales in the thread dedicated to that quarter's sales.

And again you're misunderstanding; I wasn't comparing it to PS4's sales at the same age, simply providing context as to just how old it is. Its successor has also been soft-announced for a reveal this FY, so people know it's not far off.

It's selling well in context, that's all I'm saying.

You were touting Switch being 300k less than PS5 as impressive. Which while I agreed the sales numbers itself was good, it is not so impressive because of the PS5 being within 300k.

Because you brought the PS5 into the mix rather than just saying "Switch sold 2.1m, that's impressive for its age", I felt the need to add context for the PS5's low numbers.

I was describing Switch's legs as impressive in their own right. PS5 was only ever mentioned as context, not as any kind of console warring.

I've no issue with you adding further context, you just seem to have misconstrued some of what I'm saying.
