I was making a point. Would you rather have a OG Xbox/Gamecube levels of profits (20mil) or have a huge loss ps3 levels (despite that outselling almost every hardware thats not from sony)
If switch sells 10mil in japan lifetime and sells a ton of software with hardly and losses and alot of profits its a win. |
OG Xbox lost tonnes of money for Microsoft which is why they discontinued it before 360 had even released.
Gamecube caused Nintendo to completely change their home console strategy after it sold so poorly.
I understand the point you're making (a profitable, niche console can be "successful") but in reality it has never worked out that way. If it did, Vita and WiiU would be "successful" because the former makes plenty of third-party licencing money from indies and Japanese devs while the latter makes plenty of money from amiibo and first party stuff.
But both are failures.
