Nintendo is market leader but it's not dominant. It's not direct competition to anything else. PC is more direct competition to the rest of the console space and PC is also more competition to Nintendo now with Mobile PCs.

Also, you can't measure Switch against 9th gen like this site does, it makes no sense. It has been selling for half of 8th gen and 9th gen. It's a handheld as well as a console. Comparison just don't make sense even if it could play the majour third party games. 

The comparison is generally acceptable, because the dates of competition are what matter, nothing else. Switch will have coexisted for most of its existence at the same time as PS5 and XBS. The three are competing for marketshare, you can't deny that and pretend like you are basing yourself in reality. Take Japan for example, the Playstation would sell worlds better if the market was not dominated by Nintendo.

It's the stupidest and most awkward comparison for so many reasons regardless wheter you think they are dominating. 120 million acrive PS players monthly across the brand to 128 million active on Nintendo Switch but AGAIN, it's got a cross over between handheld and console and the timing is silly comparison. It's like grouping the DS, 3Ds and Wii together to say they are dominating the market. Just ridiculous. Nonsensical and statistical manipulation to prove "dominance". They are market leader, I'm happy for them but to say they are dominating is facetious. 

23% use switch docked. 77% handheld. Dominance, lol. Sure. 

And no they wouldn't, people buy into Nintendo (especially handheld nintendo) for such vastly different reasons. One of the brands ceasing to exist isn't going to bump the other brand drastically. Most would probably go PC handheld.

Your challenge is lazy. What breakdown do you propose to compare then? I'll take the time to put the numbers together. Also how did you quantify active players?

There is no breakdown you can compare, my point is it's silly to compare them.

They should exclusively make clocks and stop wasting their time with these childish games. It's time for them to grow up with their audience

Maybe instead of total sales for the systems you could use the amount sold in the same time period

Edit - I reread your post comparing console plus handheld sales and saw you already did this for gameboy, which was what I thought the other person's problem was with the comparison. So never mind

Switch's primary competition was the Xbox One and Playstation 4. - They are the same generation of hardware and graphical feature sets.

Gameboy came out in 1989, there is no way it gets paired up with the Nintendo 64 which came out in 1996... I was using the Gameboy alongside the SNES with the Gameboy adapter before the Nintendo 64 was even a mention in magazines.

Basically you have fluffed with the hierarchy.

I used chronology like we all should. Esp. for Gameboy, i used exactly the years of sales they coexisted in.

I didn't fluff anything, it's just the reality you prefer not to know.

Then the Gameboy should be aligned with the NES due to being Nintendo's first handheld...
Or the SNES due to it's release year.

Gameboy released in 1989, SNES released in 1990.
SNES could play Gameboy titles.

It's not hard to surmise where the Gameboy is supposed to be grouped up... Hint: Not the Nintendo 64.
You are manipulating things.

Now one could argue the Gameboy Colour could be separated from the Gameboy and lumped in with the Nintendo 64, it did have Gameboy Colour exclusives that couldn't be played on the original Gameboy.

I used the years for gameboy, it's perfect that way, it's even more clear cut than the split you're proposing.

Anyway propose a metric and I'll put the numbers together. For me the one I proposed is the most simple and correct, but I am waiting for your idea.

Okay this thread is open to such ideas, if you don't want to talk about it please there are other threads to participate in.

Though thanks for putting in your thoughts but it's a sales forum and completely a legitimate topic.
