Ok I'm going to take it all at face value then. It's mindblowing because Switch is possibly going to challenge PS4 and Xbox One combined. The so called market leader by many on this site. Javi would have said the same about Xbox Series and PS5 when their time is up. That will probably be easier might I add, since both are on route to sell less than their predecessors. It looks like cherrypicking because no other time in history was the handheld market that large and it's highly inflated similar to the home console market at that same time but yet you don't acknowledge that in you 7th gen handheld market compared to the hardcore home console market. You are also making definitions that can't be determined such as calling the HD twins the hardcore market or stating the Switch has no competition. Those are all things that a Nintendo distractor would say to downplay, so how exactly do you think I would be able to set you apart from them?

Set apart whoever you want, from whatever you want. This does no change the facts and the obvious things that I pointed out. And yes Switch might pass both PS5 and XBSX, even DS might, I myself even started comparison of PS5&XBSX vs DS in my thread. What is your point again ? It's not cherry picking, it's simply stating that the handheld market has had more hardware sales before than what it has now. That's it. I am not downplaying anything, I am stating that it's not mind blowing since 170M and even more has been done before from the handheld market (back in 7th gen). I am also not making definitons, I just used example to compare the PS+XB numbers, it's not bound with anything. It's was just example of PS+XB numbers, since @javi741 used that. What you can't understand ? And how many times I have to say that Switch is success, to stop saying I am trying to downplay it's success ?

The 7th gen also had 270 million home consoles, so yes it's quite surprising to see a single platform with potential to beat the entire home console market. Quite impressive.
