Usual Nintendo changing names every gen the console/hh had a bad or downtime.

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.

SNES sold more than the competitor after the gen had ended... when PS1 entered the market they were still below Genesis... and I said It wasn't very sucesfull, it lost a lot of marketshare and total sales had dropped.

I didn't said neither SNES or 3DS were failures, but if you look at their predecessors sales they didn't do much good... read my first line on the previous post... and 3DS sold less than 40% of what DS had done, that is quite the drop... a lot of people try to say PS3 was an utter failure because it didn't reach 60% of what PS2 had... so how wouldn't 3DS be even a bigger failure? PSP being completely destroyed don't make 3DS look good, when they are selling bellow even PSP.
