Damn, if that chart shows anything it's that launch sales don't mean anything, especially for Nintendo consoles. The GC started stronger than the Wii, yet sold ~35M less than it. The GBA was the strongest launch, pretty close to the Switch, yet sold ~10M less than the Wii and ~25M less than the DS. The 3DS had the weakest launch, yet has done ~15M more than the Wii U, so far. |
To be fair, the GBA was Nintendo's system with worst support/luck. Just 3 years after it launched, Nintendo released the DS. All things considered, GBA sold incredibly well in a very short amount time, and its legs were cut-off by the "third pillar".
Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.
