Anything less than 80 million in hardware sales in 5 years will show a diminishing interest in the "Nintendo Brand" and unfortunately create another hurdle that will need to be cleared. They are off to an excellent start, 4 years and 10 months to go. |
You are right. If it doesn't at least do 80 million, it will be a failure just like PS4 and Xbox One. Both of them have failed to beat the previous generation sales and seem highly unlikely to do so.
PS2: 155+ million
PS3+PSP: 166+ million
PS4+Vita: 75.5 million
360: 84+ million
One: 29.2 million
PS4 and/or Vita need another 85 million (give or take) to avoid failure. Xbox One needs at least another 55 million. Anything less than that in hardware sales will show a diminishing interest in both Sony and Microsoft brands accordingly.
Consoles are clearly dying.
