The other non-major Nvidia based console has higher sales numbers than both of so-called major consoles combined.


It's ... difficult to compare a low-power SoC released in 2015 (so, design dating back to 2014 if not earlier) with high-power consoles developed in 2019 onwards.


They belong to the same generation. Until Switch 2 is released.


That doesn't mean they're meaningfully comparable (in the context we are talking about). A $100 budget android phone that was released at the same time as the latest iphone also belongs to the same generation, but that doesn't mean the chip manufacturers profit equally from the two (of course apple makes their own chips so in a literal sense this comparison doesn't make sense, but I'm sure you understand what I mean)

And I don't mean to disparage the switch, just point out that the way it's designed is very different which makes the comparison questionable
