| 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. |
Hard to tell if the sum of two poor results is a success. WiiU was horrible. 3DS was mediocre. But the market is shrinking and there's always some overlap between home consoles and handhelds clients.
If NS actually replaces 3DS and sells 80M, I will say those sales are ok (not really a success and not really a flop).
