No this means that Nintendo has had the longest and most successful launch of a system and kept it selling well at its original price point longer than any other system SINCE THE DAWN OF TIME.

Most consoles are sold at $200 or less. That's the magical mass market price point. Most PS2s were sold at $200 and under. The Wii is the only system to sell 53 million while costing over $200. Even the almighty PS2 only cost more than $200 for 19 months. Wii has cost more than $200 for 35 months.

There is absolutely no way to twist this into bad news for Nintendo.
