The Dock is what charges the system.  "2nd Switch Set" doesn't come with the dock or the AC cable, because it is assumed the Buyer has both of these things from "their 1st Switch Set".  In the US, they do sell standalone docks for separate TV's.  I bought 1 to keep at my parent's home whom I visit frequently, and for travel.  It's much more convenient than lugging any of my other consoles around.  But, that doesn't change what the "2nd Switch Set" is.

Could you point me to the "hate" for the hybrid system that you are talking about in this thread?  Again because I am seeing some good debating but no hate.

Down 10% and offered a "ridiculous" BF sale just to tie Nin even though they didn't tie with Nin for Nov they sold more.... and even though they had the same sale last year. That is a NORMAL BF sale for most consoles in their 5th year lol. Like are you being serious or joking with this post? Nin Sold AMAZING being well up YoY for Nov and will be doing the same for Dec being well up YoY. The Switch is on FIRE!!! And Sony will be pretty much flat/slightly down from its peak year which is pretty freaking good if you ask me! And MS well they have not had the best gen period so they are just normal lol.

Thank goodness I wasn't the only one who felt this way....like geesh.

I don't get why you're downplaying ducks so much, you're seriously underestimating their flying abilities.

Ducks fly pretty fast, at about 80 km/h. They also have great stamina, and take way longer flights (thousands of kilometers, in only a few days time) than birds like the eagle.

And eagles don't actually fly particullarly fast, they average around 50 km/h - which is a fair bit slower than ducks. They only reach top speeds of 250 km/h when taking a nosedive.

So I think it's quite clear that the Switch is the better console.

Whoa RULING the market until AT LEAST 2022....now that is a bold claim. And when you say ruling what exactly do you mean?

The clux of the argumentation I've seen from one side came as a desperate effort in not recognizing the Switch as a device that should compete in direct opposition with other home consoles because of it's broad offering despite having feature akin of what you find in any home console devices. Does it come from hate ? Absolutely not. That's way too strong of a word to even say such a thing, annoyance may be what you're searching for instead.

#1 Global Hardware sales until 2022. At least maybe longer. We will see if that starts in 2018 or 2019 soon!

You are missing the big picture. What's going on in this thread is the same as ten years ago when people who were upset by high Wii sales tried to put Wii in a different market, the goal being that if Wii is in a different market, then PS or Xbox would remain the sales leader in the market that matters.

The people who go smarter about this do it by using backhanded compliments, such as "it was smart by Nintendo to make a handheld that connects to the TV." If you look at the post I replied to before yours, you'll spot the compliment that "Nintendo makes high quality games with great creativity" that stands in complete contradiction with the rest of the post. If the aforementioned statement were truly believed by the person who said it, they would have concluded that Switch sales exploded this holiday season because of Nintendo's strong first party lineup. But instead said person pursued a longwinded way to arrive at a different and illogical conclusion that makes it more comforting for them to accept the high Switch sales.

But ten years ago the consensus was pretty much almost everywhere that the Wii was indirectly competing with the PS3/XB360. The HD twins competed directly with each other and the Wii indirectly competed. That's why the PS3/Wii combo or the XB360/Wii combo were debated on which was best. Even though for me having all 3 was best just like now lol.

Now for the rest I can see that and maybe I was just not looking at it as deeply and just took it for what was said. I didn't really get that underlining/downplaying/hating feeling with those posts. I just saw some good debates coming from both sides. Maybe I was just being naive to it though.

You have to think, why was it brought up in the first place? Why would someone bring up Switch being a handheld that hooks up to a TV and that it's not a direct competitor to PS4/XBO in this thread? It has nothing to do with weekly sales so the only logical conclusion is that they did it to downplay the fact that it had an amazing week.

I am being fair, I find it concerning that you find issues in my argument using actual data but not his which is nothing more than a rant.

You are correct, Switch is significantly ahead of Wii U and significantly behind 3DS. How in any way does that support a handheld or console argument?

If you want to bring up PS4, how about we also being up Vita? It's the worst selling Playstation system in Japan ever, had a ~70% drop from PSP and sold just over half of what PS3/PS4 have/will sell.

By the logic you and CrazyGPU are using, Vita should have sold much more than PS3/PS4 because handhelds are more popular than traditional consoles.
