That's good and all but it's a pity it can't succeed the sales of the consoles it's actually succeeding. It will struggle to surpass just the 3DS and that's only 1 of the consoles.  

As I said sales are healthy but this puts it into perspective. 

You do realize that Wii U had a relatively strong start in Japan, but started faltering soon after? As time goes on the gap will become bigger and bigger. 

3DS sold over 20 million units in Japan alone. Wii U sold just over 3 milllion. In other words: irrelevant numbers. 

And Switch is still supply constrained and won't need a huge early price cut like the 3DS did.

That definitely puts things into perspective, doesn't it?

Yeah despite being a succesor to the 3DS and Wii U sales aligned the Switch is just keeping up with the 3DS. Sales are excellent but this puts them into perspective. 

There are people comparing Switch to consoles they shouldn't.  The only thing Switch should be compared to is 3DS + Wii U.  I've always maintained that. Comparing a hybrid to just a handheld or just a home console is infact moving the posts.

What an attempt to spin this, lol. 

Switch sale are fantastic, especially considering that it is still heavily supply constrained and that Nintendo is basically selling everything they can produce at the moment. 

But because you had to desperately look for a reason to make them seem not as good (in your eyes at least) you went with "but it's gonna replace both consoles so these sales aren't actually that good!1!".

Despite fact that Switch is hybrid, its still one console that actually has price point of home console, so no Switch doesn't need to be compared to 3DS + Wii U, or does need to have same sales like 3DS + Wii U.

Totally disagree with you there.  I think the Switch does indeed need to be compared to 3DS + Wii U.

Now, with that being said, I also think that Switch has a high chance of surpassing those sales. At least worldwide.  But it might bee too soon to tell.

That logic makes no sense. If you're gonna go with that then that means something like the PS4 can only be compared to PS3 sales. And going by that logic back as well during the last generation the PS3 and PSP were both out, each selling (or shipped) 80 million, for a combined total of over 160 million. So the PS4 current 60 million must be a huge failure in your eyes then going by that. Because even though the PS4 wasn't originally made to replace their handhelds, it certainly has at this point considering how they stopped supporting the Vita properly years ago, so one could say that the PS4 became the main thing instead of a seperate handeld + console just like you're saying with the Switch. 

Do you think that the Switch should cost more than $600 then to make up the combined costs of how much a 3DS + Wii U would be? No, because it's $300, the price of a home console.
