I have. If NS is Nintendo's handheld for the years to come, it's basically responding to 2 markets. WiiU was a disaster. Nintendo never did so poorly. 3DS was definitely not good. I think any other Nintendo handheld did better per year. How can the average of 2 bad results be good? Because, if NS does really replace 3DS, the sales must be devided by 2 in order to fairly compare to other generations. When was the last time Nintendo's home console + handheld did 80M? The 8th generation, of course. And before that? Yeah...in that case, 80M won't be a success. However, if NS does not replace 3DS, then 80M is quite an achievement. Not as good as Wii, but still definitely a success. |
Your implying only what 4 or 5 handheld/home consoles were ever successful out of the 30+.
If 80mil isnt a success then that means only psx/ps2/wii/ds/gb with soon to be ps4 are the only successful gaming systems.
That said as zhuge said its not all about hardware numbers as many think. X1 is more successful than ps3 despite ps3 >>> X1 in hardware sales. Many factors play a role.
