The Road to 160m+ for Nintendo Switch

Again the first paragraph is you expressing your opinion about how it is now more likely. Which I agree but you cherrypicking the 7th gen is ridiculous. Your logic makes no sense no matter how you slice it. Its poor analysis period, you want to compare the entire handheld market to just a made up subset of the home console market, completely ignoring 360 being carried by Kinect? So shouldnt that be left out of your hardcore subset? You also dont get to just ignore every other handheld market besides one (7th gen). The latest gen (8th gen), saw the handheld market collapse to under 100 million (3DS & Vita). The other gens before the 7th and 8th gens never saw the handheld market above 150 million. I could even argue never above 125 million considering the GameBoy shouldn't include GBC (its successor). Your whole point here is nothing more than the Switch is handheld pulling from this huge handheld market that only Nintendo can access so poor MS/Sony are at a disadvantage. That is a lie, only the 7th gen supports your agenda and even it needed its data cherrypicked to fit your criteria. The only thing you are doing is proving how butthurt people get about the Switch's success. It's a handheld when needing to explain why it kicked Playstation's teeth in but a home console when needing to explain why its future iterations are in trouble. That's when WiiU and Switch comparisons return. Switch isn't pulling from a handheld or home console market, it's pulling from all of the gaming market. MS and Sony have just plainly done a poor job of doing the same.

You are taking this as a console war. And in my last 3 posts, I am not. I am simply saying that the handheld market (which Switch covers on almost 100% the last 7 years) has already been way more higher than 170M - (PSP+DS). So it's not mind blowing if you look it from that point of view, as the handheld market in general. It's mind blowing when you look the Switch as a console. The handheld market already reached higher point than what it is now. And don't get into handheld or home debate. Not all of the Switch owners bought it to use it as a handheld, but all of the people that wanted handheld bought the Switch, since they didn't really have other choice. And stop taking everything as a lie or bias. It's simply the obvious thing. You are the one who flames right away when reading something about the Switch, other than praising it. Not me. And don't mistake me for other people. I have nothing against Switch. You have to be realist in life, not optimist or pessimist, you have to look things from every perspective and view, not only through rose-tinted glasses. Switch is success, but this does not exclude that there are factors in it's life on the market that helped it, more than many of other consoles had. This is off topic of course, my original point you can read in the first lines.
