DAT 2008 SHIPMENT!!! Lol. xD


This is concerning from a Nintendo POV thoug specifically the drops from 2012 to 2013 to 2014. 

1995 was a bit of a weird year because it was the tail end of the SNES cycle but the Game Boy brand was also fizzling out by then. This is why the Virtual Boy was rushed to the market, because Yamauchi felt they needed something new to prop up declining Game Boy revenue. Of course then Pokemon releases in 1996 in Japan and that caused a second wind for the Game Boy brand. 

But generally speaking Nintendo has hovered above that 20 mill plus HH + console (actually more like 22 mill+) for most of the back end of the 90s and the GCN/GBA era. 

But now it seems like they can't even sniff that number. Even unifying the hardware lines, while addressing certain issues, doesn't address everything.
