This is true and brings me to a slightly off topic question... Was the GameCube sold at a profit? If so thats surely considered a success even though it only sold 22ish million? Like you say it all comes down to profit but this is a sales site so no doubt we're gonna argue numbers right |
I believe it was, but the majority of Nintendo's profit from that time was from handhelds.
Sales do matter in terms of popularity: we can say the market is not yet sold on Wii U. But it's still possible to make money as the second or third place player in a market, it's just a matter of scaling back extravagance (for example five year 100+ person Zelda games, or $100 tablet controllers).
