| Turkish said: From a combined 250 million sold units with the Wii/DS shrunk to barely 80 million with WiiU/3DS. Will Switch really be a success with only 80 million lifetime sales, if it reaches that number at all, knowing it's the only Nintendo platform going forward? 80 million wouldn't have been a growth but stagnation over last gen. |
And they went from GC/GBA 100m to 255m. Fact is that Wii/DS with 255m is highest selling generation for any company, and hardly you will see something like that ever again. Yes, only 80m would definitely be success for Switch, dont forget that with Wii U and 3DS they had double costs for R&D for hardware, double cost for software and double costs for marketing, with Switch they will have costs just for one platform, in other words Nintendo could easily make more profit with 80m sold Switches than with 80m sold WiiU/3DS.
