To argue that in it's first two years GCN had better Japanese support than the Switch. Yes, I know...
If we do an aligned overall comparison for Bamco and Capcom in first the 25 months (aka: generally when we have Switch dates through) on Nintendo home consoles since N64:
That's the thing, I want to pin down the exact thing that sets those apart.
Portable devices are very popular in Japan.
Nobody should do this because it would be useless and not make sense.
Plus markets like France, really eat up Eastern focused games.
Factor in software sales and you're golden. How else would you compare the approaches?
Globally Switch will probably end up outselling 3DS & Wii U combined anyway.
And how does the Switch compare to Wii/DS and WiiU/3DS in that regard?
If Ps4 were a portable hybrid that would be an interesting comparison in my opinion.
Well when the 3DS really took off, it was selling at a loss which is a part of why Nintendo posted their first ever financial loss.
Of the 3 big GC games you listed before one was an arcade port and one wouldn't release for 2 more years relative to Switch's lifecycle. You've got this backwards, you've yet to prove GC is ahead of Switch holding to your own standards.
You said they at the same point in their lifespan GCN had much better support than Switch.
It doesn't matter, it's still wrong. All major Japanese companies, besides Falcom (whose games still get released on it) are on board on the Switch.
