Then what would you call above Wii U numbers but nowhere near X1/PS4 numbers?, again that feels like a big rock and a hard place scenario and still sounds like it's bad either way. I mean just say they did better or slightly better than WIi U numbers, how long will it take before we have the same discussions where Nintendo might go 3rd party or might be doomed because either way we're forcing this on Nintendo for simply not toppling the other two and now we have their own current system thrown into the mix. I strongly feel that from all this there is simply no winning for Nintendo at all because even if they had slightly better numbers than Wii U we'll still find some area to complain about how bad it is that they are doing even despite them not doing Wii U numbers, damned if they are and damned if they don't. We talked about their catch 22 situation a year and a half ago and I feel we'll be right back to talking about that with the NX in terms of sales and support. |
You raise an increibly valid point but I am not going to pretend that I can decide that magic number that is deemed sucessful. I would say if pressed that it needs to sell something near the average of Wii and Wii U sales. Thats somewhere in the region of 60 million. No matter what happens Nintendo is not doomed. Take a look at the Xbox One. It is not seen as the winner, but it is also well know and accepted that it is selling faster than the 360. The flagpole, as it were will change, but lets start there. Don't take this thread too seriously. I (OP) am actually very hopeful. This situation is a 'what if'. I believe that everyone is fasinated with the NX. We all can't wait to see what it is and I fully expect it to launch with strong 3rd party support.
