So you've only proven that Nintendo SW sells good, how does that end the argument of people wanting Nintendo to go 3rd party and sell those SW on bigger platforms like the 165 million HD twin install base or the much bigger mobile platforms? Wii U sells terrible, 3DS tracks lower than DS and probably has its peak year already. Yet lets forget about the HW problem and focus on the good times when all was well with the world.


Take out the RoD'd consoles and watch that number coming down. 

PS3 sold terrible, compared to PS2. 

Vita, incredibly, tracks even lower than PSP, which got butt rapped by DS.

So by your rreasoning, Sony should go 3rd party before Nintendo =) 

But no, let's ignore the present and remind the good old times when Sony had dominant platforms.

We can't use the RoD'd logic seeing as it doesn't make sense and no one knows an actual number.

No one knows, but you can assume something in the ballpark of dozen of millions.

The failure rate during the first year was as high as 40% (some reported cases were even more). Xbox sits at 80 million nowadays, I think it's safe to say about 15~20 million consoles went down the toilet and got replaced by microsoft, but it magically counts as "shipped".
