You mean except for the Virtual Boy, right?

Don't be silly, the Virtual Boy was never considered a handheld console.

His point is valid, he's saying that Nintendo has enjoyed a long-lasting success in the handheld space. Not so much on the home console front. 

Having said that, I do agree with you that his original post was mostly invalid:

I think it will sell more than the gamecube. But not much more. Maybe 30-40 million range. Nintendo's only grand succes on the console market was the wii. All the other consoles sold well, but no ''wow what happened there'' degree. So this slow start is painful but in no way a surprise. We have to let go the expectation that consoles can sell 100 million copies. It was in my mind too. Nintendo is only very succesfull in the handheldmarket. Of course softwarewise also. So, yes it will sell more.

Mostly invalid? Ouch. Haha. Nice discussion. Thx guys.

Sorry, I tend to be harsh. The invalid part was

"Nintendo's only grand succes on the console market was the wii. All the other consoles sold well, but no 'wow what happened there' "

Take care.
