And yet the point remains. Do we depict the Switch as a decline because its hardware sales is quite a way below the 45m of the Wii + DS? I just don't find that to be a genuine or constructive angle. The PS5 has outsold the Vita and will fall just a bit short of the PS4. 

Problem is under the point being argued Wii + DS aren't the Switch's predecessors, WiiU and 3DS are with 29m which means a 7m increase while the Wii + DS decrease would be attributed to WiiU and 3DS which the Switch as a single platform has done a big job in repairing.

It doesn't need to be the direct successor to the DS+Wii for it to be a comparative decline but its an obviously nonsense comparison. The whole point is no one would take the angle of lamenting Nintendo's loss in units compared to when they had 2 successful and highly differentiated devices selling alongside each other, versus now when they just have one. Again this conversation is obviously disingenuous and not constructive. I'll leave it there
