I think ps4 wins February and March on the home console front.  Games line up is too good.  Would need an insane xbox promo.

I'm not sure about March, but then again I'm not one for moving goalposts LOL

So are we counting the Switch as a handheld?

No, just a device competing against itself and no one else

[Aura7541]

So are we counting the Switch as a handheld?

I personally find the Switch to be a "one foot in the console space and the other in the handheld space" device.

[the-pi-guy]

I'm considering it an RV in a space that has very few RV's.  
I'll compare it consoles and handhelds but not really putting them against each other.

That might change depending on how things go.

What a sad comment.  I've always claimed the Switch to be a portable like many others since its inception. Stop talking out your hoop.

So are we counting the Switch as a handheld?

Why does it have to be we?  Like we're not a hive mind.  We can't view it differently.  Even the ultimate hive gaf have a very diverse opinion on this.  Many go with handheld,  many with home console and some give it a new category under both.

I wasn't using "we", I was using it to mean "you" kinda like a Doctor would ask his patient "How are we feeling today?".

Discounting the Switch from the home consoles and adding it exclusively to the handhelds is completely ridiculous. You can't just say "Oh I consider the Switch a handheld" when it 100% out of the box functions like a home console as well as a handheld. This is not a matter of opinion, these things are defined and the Nintendo Switch clearly checks the mark of both definitions.

Thanks @Xevross for taking the reins.
