I think this means that we can agree that Wii sales lasted for an entire generation because the Wii's unique properties gave it a monopoly over a certain segment of the market. You recognize that Switch has handheld functionality, but you mistake it for something that is of low importance because handheld gaming has already existed for well over two decades. If you look at the situation properly, you'll have to realize that Switch will command a monopoly in the handheld market. The 3DS is on its final stretch while Sony won't make a successor to the Vita. 3DS and Vita will combine for ~85m units by the end of their lives, so that's a pretty big known market that Nintendo will have all to themselves. |
You could also see that as a retreat from the classic handheld market because of the strength of the tablets and smartphones, the best times for handheld`s are over....
