Are they making a profit? That's the only thing that matters. No one goes into business hoping to sell units. they do it to make money. If you don't sell a lot of units but you make a profit, you stay in business . You sell a butt load of units but you don't make a profit, you go out of business.

If they sell few systems they won't profit from software. Most of the profit comes from software. If they sell a few systems they won't get 3rd party support losing software royalties. If they sell a few systems they will sell less controllers, cables, etc. If they sell a few systems they will lose brand recognition sending their intelectual properties into niche hell. Its so clear that they want to sell systems that Nintendo dropped the price of the 3DS a few months after its release. Your view of the videogame market is kinda limited or you just can't accept the fact that Wii U is a failure.

Yet they are selling a lot of software. Still have brand recognition. Now Splatoon will be another huge brand. They haven't had 3th party support in 4 gens. Yet their still here. They wete supposed to be out of the console business years ago but their still here. Why? Because of units sold?  Nope. Because they make profits and have brand recognition.
