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.

I know they revived it. But that is not my point. It was good. Thats my opinion. The wii was a succes, because there idea was great. The idea with the nes wasn't great. Psx idea was great ( cd's ), Ps 2 was great ( dvd ), DS was great ( dual screen ). NES was not great with their third party restrictions. It looked great but it wasnt. It gave them a boost, but not on the long run. It gave them arrogance.

It wasn't a success? How do you even qualify that?
It was a market success - owned more than 50% of the market.
It was a commercial success - revived a dead industry.
It was a financial success - highly profitable.
It also established some of the most beloved IP's in video game history.
It established dozens of fundamental innovations still in use today.
It renewed investor confidence that had black balled the entire video game industry.
It also established the fundamental 3rd party licensing system used even today
The only factor you've stated that negates the 'success' was the fact the licensing prices were rather high and number of allowed liscense per year per publisher was low which I'd hardly call a negation.
I mean this in the kindest sense bu your definition of success could use some revision.

discussion ended half an hour ago. Point taken. We think differently. I like it here.
