This should not be a concern because Nintendo combined their home and console software and hardware divisions when they built their new HQ a few years ago.

I guess time will tell.

I never thought I'd say this, as in recent years I've generally been bored by systems that are just more powerful versions of their predecessors, but in this case, yeah, I really hope Nintendo's next system is a regular Switch 2 rather than something like Wii U or 3DS that tries to be different in the wrong way.

Switch vs 3DS and Wii U – VGChartz Gap Charts – December 2019

Switch Vs. 3DS and Wii U Global:

Gap change in latest month: 1,324,863 - Switch

Gap change over last 12 months: 3,046,464 – Switch

Total Lead: 76,633 - Switch

Switch Total Sales: 49,808,000

3DS and Wii U Total Sales: 49,731,367

Nice, Switch breaks ahead, and with 3DS and Wii U being as front-loaded as they were, they'll be no going back now.

These charts really show, to me at least, that the switch is nintendo's leggiest console in a very long time. Even in the PS4 comparison, against a console with a long sales curve, the period where switch has caught up the most is in its third year. I know that in the twilight years switch likely will fall behind PS4 again, but its still amazing to watch a nintendo console hold up so well not just out the gate.

Also, it is interesting that the 3DS had sold half of its LTD number at this point in time. That basically infers that in the worst case scenario, switch will sell at least 100 million (double its current number), and that given how much less front-loaded it is, it has a pretty great chance at selling something like 115+ million.

PS4 vs Xbox One in the US – VGChartz Gap Charts – December 2019

PS4 Vs. XOne US:

Gap change in latest month: 26,962 – PS4

Gap change over last 12 months: 864,715 – PS4

Total Lead: 4,593,568 – PS4

PS4 Total Sales: 32,080,344

Xbox One Total Sales: 27,486,776

It'd be crazy if Xbox goes from being first place in the US in the 7th gen so being outsold there by both PS4 and Switch, which looks quite likely to eventually happen. Quite the tumble.

It is a bit of a fall, but I am not sure there has been a fall like there was with the Wii to the Wii U or PSP to PS Vita. 

In terms of percentage, pretty sure those two are unparalleled. In terms of raw numbers, PS3 fell by 70 million from PS2, which is more than PSP to Vita.

Thinking about it, the DS to 3DS drop is probably the biggest when you look at the raw numbers.
