Again, those research is from 2017, it's not relevant anymore. When Nintendo make a new one from this year or next year, then we will talk.

Also as I already said don't take the lite model as the all handheld buyers choice. Many many people love to buy the full package just to be on the safe side.

I've seen it in person. So from that 35M Switches sold since the Lite launched possibly at least 20-25M are primary using it and buying it for handheld use.

What is the way in your opinion to get data from every single person in the moment of buying the console for what exact reason it is buying it ? because the raw sold numbers of Lite isn't the accurate way.

Your data is OK for 2017. It's not relevant anymore. As I already said in 2017 or even 2018, most of the buyers of the system in general are the hardcore fans, the more casual users often buys console after it's second year. We have around 80M more people since this research made in 2017.

When nintendo comes out again now or next year and gives official info, then we will talk.

No. They are paying for better battery, bigger screen, and most of them also really don't know every single difference between the two, so some of them are also paying just to be on the safe side to get the better version of the thing. Also the full version have extra ability - to be played home. They may take it for handheld however combined with the bigger battery and screen and also the few times they may use the home use of the console it makes it enough reason to get the expensive one.

Out of the dozen or so Switch users I know in real life, only one of them doesn't play it on their T.V., while the rest play handheld and home console.

While anecdotal evidence is the lowest form of evidence, your line of reasoning sounds logical, but one can make anything sound logical. The data that we have at this time suggests that most people play a mix of at home and T.V.

Also Nintendo Life Poll form a little less than a year ago has

23% handheld more than 80% of the time

37% on T.V. more than 80% of the time

34% uses fairly equally (30-70% T.V.)

This has 18807 Votes

This uptick could be due to covid-19 forcing people to be home, however even then it is used as a home console and people did pay for the ability to play it on tv and did use it as such.

This is only 18807 people out of how many owners ? close to 90M. This is just 0.02% of all switch owners. It's not enough.

Also just because you have friends that play more handheld doesn't mean whole world is the same.

I've talked with many of the customers in the store that I worked in and they are playing primary in handheld mode.

Okay there is no point in arguing you are here only nintendo fans and all of you are defending the switch obviously ..
I am not bitching switch's fate or something like that and I haven't been one from those who said year after year the switch will fall of a cliff.
I am just saying that In my opinion 2020/2021 is the peak period for the system and the 2022 is starting it's downfall. And I think that because of several factors (the age of the system, the saturation point, the new consoles with full stock for next year, and the price ) Switch will drop to around 15M units. This is my prediction, that's it. We will see the answer of this by next year. There is no point in arguing now. If it is so special and so home and handheld then it have to do Wii + DS numbers which is equal to 255M. Come on I dear you. Cuz if many people buy it for home use and many other for handheld it have to at least beat the DS numbers right ? It won't even manage to do that let alone 255M.

Crysis is one game. I've seen many many games on switch and watched most of the analysis on digital foundry and it's not good.

Yes it has some games ported that are even not available on the PS3 and 360 however they are not great. Bad framerates, cutting corners with graphics with resolutions. It's bad in comparison to home console like PS4/PS5/XBOX.

That's why I am saying it's more close to PS3 and 360 than the next console. therefore switch is not just 1 generation behind. graphical and in performance.

It's almost 2 generations behind.

I am not doubting it's technology or that it has more ram.

Just the final execution is more like PS3 on the go than PS4 or xbox.

Yes I am clever. It's not only me, I've worked in a store and many many people bought the home consoles for home use, and almost all of switch buyers bough it because they will be playing it in handheld. The statistic is only one, research from 2017. The start of the console life, when normally the most buyers are hardcore fans. For every console not only switch. Always the first 1 to 2 years majority of the buyers are it's die hard hardcore fans and gamers.

Let Nintendo do one new research now and show it. Then we will talk.

Well now there is a difference. The PS4 pro were only giving PS4 users a little higher resolution nothing more. And also for that experience you are required to have 4K TV.

Also how do you know what is the ratio to slim and pro ? there were only 1 statistic back from 2017. PS4 sold 50M since then.

About the PS5 and XBOX, yes, most people are buying the expensives models. Of course always will have people that will just buy the base model. But those with the full package are often way more.

No it, does not have them.

Wii U had them and was home console only. And how many people bough it ? how many ? not even 14M. Pathetic ..

Just because some people buy the switch and decide to use it's extra ability as a home console sometimes, doesn't mean that the people have bought it specifically for this. But if it couldn't do handheld than many many users would not buy it. That's like to say that people buys smartphones because to watch videos or browse the internet. They just use those extras because they are there. But even if they were not they would buy it again. Because they need it's primary function - phone.

What about DS ? Where are all the DS buyers ? Switch is not making 154M.

Also as I said in my previous comment, if switch is so special and one of a kind, and there is so many gamers bought it for home use, and another many gamers bought it for handheld why not switch make Wii + DS numbers ? 255M where are they ? common I want to see them. It won't even reach DS total lifetime sales let alone 255M.
