Looking at the graphs is misleading if you think n64 was massively successful for them. Even if they made 100$ profit per console, that's only 3.3B in profit @33m consoles sold..... The GBC sold 120m IN THE SAME TIMEFRAME..... n64 1996-2002 GBC 1998-2002 Now look at the graph again, 1996FY, 1997FY Wompwomp Now look at 1998FY up to 2002FY- where the graph starts leveling even again. Do your research man. |
lol @ "only 3.3 billion". Some of you are just precious. Only on this forum could someone say the N64 was a cursed console like the Saturn and PS3 and yet when presented with factual evidence that proves otherwise, still try to argue about it. The graph and numbers speak for themselves. You guys can create stipulations and theories about it all you want. Bottom line is Nintendo saw massive profits during its lifespan and you look at the graph, the couple years prior to GBC were just as good for them as the years after. Now look at the PS3 era Sony line. Clearly the same thing is going on LOL. Like I said, precious.
