Indeed, people seems to not realize this. Nintendo could have a loyal fanbase on home consoles but every generation there are less of them. At this point there is nothing they can do. So, its not fully Nintendo's fault, even though they have failed maintaining its own fanbase interested on their systems.

Look at the transition from PS2 to PS3. How many of the 150m ps2 owners shifted to the 360? ALOT

All consoles that sell in high quantities, sell off their own merit, not consumer loyality.

PS3 is not a failure, unlike Wii u and most consoles of the company since N64. A lot of people switched to 360 because launched earlier and it was cheaper. And you are wrong, most sales on Nintendo's systems are because of brand loyalty (Which is 20 million approximately). I would say Sony fanbase is between 15-20 millions and Microsoft has definitely the smallest one.

Exactly. Sony done a hell of a lot to make sure it wasnt, because in the early days it was selling poorly. The success of the ps2 didn't garuntee them success last gen and they had to work even harder. 

Also I never said Nintendo's systems don't benefit from brand loyality, I said all systems that have sold in high quantities reach those numbers through the merits of the system, not the brand loyalty. Only Selling 20m over 5-6 years isn't selling in high quantities, so clearly you agree with me.
