| Soundwave said: Nintendo has never had handheld shipments lower than 10 million since the mid-1990s when the Game Boy brand was temporarily fizzling out (before Pokemon), which is why Yamauchi allowed the Virtual Boy experiment to go ahead because they needed something else to sell. Sub-10 million shipments of portables for Nintendo is a "danger zone". |
This argument wouldn't convince me because of the rise of the mobile market. Since the mobile market seems to have shrunk the dedicated handheld market share, that 10 million shipment argument might not really hold up as well.
