Well it's not untrue. Apple sells more iPhones in a month than Nintendo or Playstation sell hardware wise in a full year.

Freaking Apple. How far they've come.

 

I think their ascendance into world domination began with the iPod and its sexy design.

Dedicated gaming is a small hobby in the grand scheme of things. 

LG, which is like what, the 3rd or 4th place cell phone maker ships like 60+ million smartphones a year, Nintendo or Sony would dream to sell that much in 3 years.

Wait... Doesn't Nintendo use a different Nand supplier than Apple? I thought apple used Samsung and some other company while Switch used Toshiba?

iPhone 7 and 7 Plus use Toshiba NAND I believe. 

Nintendo should go elsewhere. They're not going to get priority over freaking Apple (neither would Sony or even MS), but there likely are other NAND suppliers.

50m+ and it's not the 3rd or 4th smartphone vendor in shipments but 8th... ( for 2016 )

OK, 8th place then, lol, but 50m+ is higher than what Nintendo + Sony will sell combined easily this year even at their most optimistic targets. Dedicated gaming ain't shit in the grand scheme of things, sometimes it's good to know where you are on the totem pole.

Samsung, largely because they make like 15x more models than Apple does. They shipped 306 million smartphones last year, lol. 

That will be more than PS4 + Switch + XBox One sell combined most likely in their life times.

Yep, it's Samsung with 310m shipments, Apple 2nd with 212m, Huwaei 3rd with 139m.
