Just thought I would give a year by year rundown of total Nintendo hardware this generation in an attempt to see how much a unified handheld/console next-gen could realistically sell.
2011-13 million
2012-16 million
2013-18 million
2014-13 million
2015-??? (10-11m)
2016-??? (6-8m)
2017-??? (3-4m)
2018-??? (1-2m)
Total, 80-85 million
Assuming that Nintendo's unified devices sell roughly this much next-gen, would that be a sustainable market for Nintendo?
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
