- Because Nintendo going after Sony's market has gone so well before hasn't it I mean the GC and WiiU really took off... Please it's a bad argument the two platforms sell on very different merits with very different market approaches, Sony is more focused on red ocean and solid third party support while Nintendo's modern era is the four market approach (blue ocean, red ocean, portable and home) where they cater even to each relying mainly on their first party library. One grabs the entire market they're in while the other carves out a sizable section of each market that's how they compete with each other.

The irony is that it's the worst argument you could make because many of the PS4 consumers aren't into first party enough to buy a Nintendo platform so they wouldn't buy a static version anyway and the games they like they'd want the version of games with the higher settings many would opt for the hybrid version to play the games they like on the go.

- Perhaps you're deliberately ignoring parts of the argument for the sake of your own, the Lite loses the Switching but still retains the rest of the concept a static version loses the Switching and a significant part of the platforms concept. I think the Lite is pointless as well but it at least retains most of the concept that the Switch centres it's identity on and as I pointed out to someone else if Lite sales are only around 13% then I'm not convinced these SKUs being absent would have made much difference to the total sales in the long run.

- The 20% figure is addressed with someone else that number is from 2017/2018 as well.

- Lite strips away the connecting to a TV it can however still do everything else so saying it strips away everything is false I addressed this above, Switch 2's price maybe higher on paper but inflation wise it matches the SNES which would be £390 today the exact same price as the Switch 2.
