It's a bigger market perhaps in some ways but next to the likes of say Nike, Nintendo is unproven and small potatoes. Given how conservative Nintendo is, I doubt they would make 20 million of anything without any indication from the market that they would like such a product. For every one break out health/fitness product there are 4-5 that flop. See my breakdown above for the Wii U and 3DS. If you combine their first year shipments, it basically comes out to about 20 million. So if NX is the fusion/multi-platform concept, then 20 million would basically be just in line with what the 3DS and Wii U did (albiet they didn't launch together). |
Without sales numbers for what Nike does it's kind of hard to compare.
