Nintendo has been marketleader in every generation except PS2 and PS4 where it had about 2/3 sales of the PS family. The reason is that a lot of people only consider either one or the other of Nintendo's consoles at a given time, which is not a true comparison. You have to sum all consoles per gen as follows:

  • NES (Won)
  • SNES vs Genesis (49.1M vs 29M Genesis)
  • N64+Gameboy Family vs PS1 (118.69 GB + 32.93M N64 vs 102.49M PS1) OR (74.91M GB 1996-2002 + 32.93M N64 vs 102.49M PS1) See source below.
  • GC + GBA vs PS2 (21.74M GC + 81.5M GBA  vs 159M PS2)
  • Wii + DS vs PS3 + PSP (101.63M Wii + 154M DS vs 87.4M PS3 + 82.5M PSP)
  • WiiU + 3DS vs PS4 + Vita (13.5M WiiU + 76M 3DS vs 117M + 16M Vita)
  • Switch vs PS5 (143.5+M Switch vs 62+M PS5)

Nintendo has been contested leader in GC + GBA and WIIU + 3DS, 2 gens, all other generations it won.

Switch's primary competition was the Xbox One and Playstation 4. - They are the same generation of hardware and graphical feature sets.

Gameboy came out in 1989, there is no way it gets paired up with the Nintendo 64 which came out in 1996... I was using the Gameboy alongside the SNES with the Gameboy adapter before the Nintendo 64 was even a mention in magazines.

Basically you have fluffed with the hierarchy.
