Nintendo having all their games available everywhere a better business than restricting them to a console?

I think people overall can agree the Virtual Boy is a bad console. It hurt your eyes and probably your neck, and was just overall hard to play. I don't know if anyone can have fun playing that...

The chance is probably less than that, but it's always possible. Though I don't think it has to be successful like the wii. As long as it is fairly successful, like better than the N64 or GC.

Agreed, now the big question is can NX do better than N64 GC but not as good as Wii? I dont know man. to have a console go from 100mil to the next one doing sub 20mil is jarring to me and doesnt leave me with a lot of faith. THat is a bigger drop than PS2-3 and Sony made a bunch of mistakes with 3 probablymore than Ninty did with Wii U or at least as much.

Edit: actually the mistakes that Sony was rectified by time.

Well, I definitely think it's more plausible for Ninten to reach past N64 sales than it is Wii sales, as long as they don't do another gimmick like the Wii U. The Wii U was much more flawed than the PS3, which had several ways to resolve the issues it had (price, removing BC, and devs slowly becoming comfortable with the hardware). There wasn't much Wii U could do. It made the gamepad, which hurt the system, and they had to live with it, too underpowered for 3rd parties to work with (in addition to the gamepad), and the general audience not knowing about the system. All Nintendo could do was try to make appealing software, which didn't work. So there wasn't really anything saving that system. If they don't do another Wii U, Ninten has a much better shot at a good selling console. A strong launch line up would do it well too.
