It's kind of crazy to think that in 30 years and dozens of attempts, only one handheld system not made by Nintendo has managed to find success. |
And that when this happened the competitor reached a level close to older Ninty HH, but still was half of what Nintendo done that gen.
That was a gen that will be hard to match on total numbers.
DS = 155M
Wii = 102M
PS3 = 87M
X360 = 86M
PSP = 81M
Total = 511M
That may have been the reason that MS higher up was expecting 1B systems this gen.
