| Otter said: 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 |
Actually it does because the context of the point they made was a continual decline so if Switch followed DS/Wii then yeah but it didn't the was a whole generation in between the two comparisons which changes the context of the numbers as Switch is an increase indicating a successful solution was executed to halt the decline and reverse it which is in stark contrast to the PS platforms which are selling less than the prior gen before them. They didn't compare one particular gen to another in their point about the PS decline they compared the trend from going from one gen to the next.
