I'm not sure about your second sentence: During Nintendo’s investor’s meeting, Nintendo President Tatsumi Kimishima revealed that at the start, Nintendo had actually expected the Wii U to go on to sell 100 million units, simply because the Wii had sold as many. http://www.ubergizmo.com/2016/07/nintendo-expected-100m-wii-u-sold/ |
Haha got me there. I'll be honest, I have no idea what kind of stuff Nintendo was smoking back during the early 2010's. It was obvious the Wii U was a bad product nobody asked for right from the start and that Wii customers wouldn't transition to it. I think they simply became arrogant and thought they couldn't do no wrong, kinda like Sony at the start of gen 7. But I think (just like Sony) they had a healthy dose of reality shoved down their throats with the Wii U and 3DS. They (hopefully) don't live in La-La-Land anymore. Of course they could still screw things up (see my response to bonzobanana) but if they play their cards right (and stay away from that weed) the Switch can be a big success.
