NES = sucess -> SNES SNES = not much sucess - N64 (don't carry NES part) N64 = failure -> Gamecube (throw the past away) GC = ubber failure -> Wii Wii = ubber sucess -> WiiU (finally keeping the name like NES-SNES) WiiU = biggest failure -> NX (or whatever they decide to call it officialy on launch) Gamecube kept the name for a very long time until it declined a lot, them changed to DS and with 3DS failure will change again... All very predicable |
SNES was certainly a success. Just because it didnt sell as much as the NES, it sold more consoles than it's competitor. 3DS had a rough launch but considering it has sold a plenty and steamrolls it's competitor I would say it certainly doesnt qualify as a "failure". It just happend to succeed one of the most succesful consoles of all time.
