If Nintendo realizes early that a console is failing and starts to defer resources to a new console it's even better. The software isn't lost, it just moves to a better console. And the earlier Nintendo releases a new console the better since their consoles are outdated when they release anyway.

I didn't say it's lost. I replied to you saying that "I also clicked "don't care" because my enjoyment of the console is not reliant on how well it sells."

The console being the key word here.

That was a bad expression anyway. I don't enjoy consoles, I enjoy games. I don't care much about the platform it's on. So I don't care if this console or any other console fails. For me it's a win because the software will move to better platforms.

So you could say I'm always hoping for console to fail as soon as possible. For me the worth of a platform is reached very quickly as soon as it has a handful of exclusives that I can enjoy.
