Invalid perspective, I'm afraid.

Every Switch owner

That's over 8 years of Switch owners. Use the same growth curve on the SteamDeck forecasting out 7 years from now to make your assessment more accurate.

Some further perspectives:

  • Many Switch owners have more than one due to the release cycle and special versions
  • If you segment the Switch into the number of consoles sold during the first year, this gap would be nowhere near as large.

@[email protected] is spot on. This data is about potential and growth, not the past.
