What is succes? Total units sold or a great market share? Or maybe the beginning of something great after a demise? I dont know. What i do know is that they paid a high price then with their third party strict business policy. So ironicly speaking, their great ''succes'' was the beginning of the end. And then came the wii.

It was a market, sales and financial success that also single handedly revived a dead industry.

I'd call that a success.

And while their licensing practices are seen as poor today, they were revolutionary in their day and all 3 console makers still use it as the foundation for their licesing model.

You really need to consider the circumstances of the market and industry back then rather than looking at it from today.

Great kickstarter indeed. But there ''good'' decisions then formed there arrogance later on. So no, it wasnt a succes. It was the beginning for someone else his succes. The revival of the industry? Ofcourse. But only in the handheldbussiness they hold there own.
