Just for your first point, it's not that Nintendo can't compete with Sony or Microsoft, they just can't outsell them if they make a home console a la X1/PS4, they're competing with something different.

Also, in-terms of power you can look at it from a completely different point of view. Before the Switch, the most powerful handheld was the Vita. The Switch is capable of running much much more graphically-demanding games (See Breath of the Wild/Mario Odyssey), so if the Switch is 1/3rd or so of the X1 then surely it's closer to a home console? Or what people do/should call it: A hybrid.

What do you mean? The Wii U was a home console, so its in competition with Xbox and Playstation. If they can't get 3rd parties, than it can't sell, and ultimately if falls behind. The Xbox is already 2:1, and PS4 almost 4:1. So no, it wasn't able to compete with Xbox or Playstation. As for your second point, its a NINTH GEN CONSOLE! Mobile HW has advanced significantly since 2011, so games running ont the Wii U SHOULD run on this console. I can't imagine if that wasn't the case.



Made a bet with LipeJJ and HylianYoshi that the XB1 will reach 30 million before Wii U reaches 15 million. Loser has to get avatar picked by winner for 6 months (or if I lose, either 6 months avatar control for both Lipe and Hylian, or my patrick avatar comes back forever).
