The Switch is only slightly down YoY this week so the impact so far is just slight. Looks like it'll hold well for the next several weeks. And at least the PS5 is not falling below 10k yet.

Are you implying that the Switch is not a handheld console or is less handheld compared to those things? Cause it by definition is a handheld device so that wouldn't be accurate. The person you responded to literally wants the Switch to beat the PS2 so there's no inherent hidden motive with calling it a handheld. Calling it a hybrid or a home console is fine to be clear but I just don't get implying that sort of thing.

I never said that Switch would beat the PS2, let alone me wanting it to beat the PS2! I only said, that if sales continue like that, it will get more likley over time. I just said i do not exclude this possibility anymore! And only because the Switch is a handheld does not mean i cannot compare it to the PS2! Both are gaming systems, one is mobile the oder one stationary. Both play physical games, so yes they can be compared! If the Switch sells more than the PS2, then yes, the Switch will be Nr.1, if it fails to do so, then it lost this battle and will be Nr.2! As easy as that! Both systems can be compared directly. But what i am starting to think is, that Switch somehow starts getting dangerously close to PS2 LTD software sales (1,55 billion)...

I have no idea how most of your reply relates to what I said since I said nothing about it not being ok to compare them but if you don't want it to beat the PS2 then your recurring comments about its sales had me fooled but fair enough. You instead being fine with it beating the PS2 doesn't change the overall point so it's whatever.
