Let's not get carried away.

It was a failure, but nowhere near as big a failure, as say, Virtual Boy, Apple Pippin, Atari Jaguar, Phillips CD-i, etc.

Oh I'm pretty sure they'll never go back to a split console/handheld approach, that would be like going back to SD resolutions or monochrome screens, a regressive step that would just make no sense. The Wii U/3DS gen proved they can no longer properly support a divided userbase, and there's no point in making dedicated portables any more.

My point was more that by 2024 their next system might be something new we can't foresee yet.

I said one of "their" biggest failures in the gaming industry (I specified that because they've been around since the 1800's). Only the virtual boy did worse. Nintendo doesn't care about how their devices sell in comparison to other companies, just their own past.

Ah, since you said "of all time in the gaming industry" I assumed "their" was a typo and you didn't mean just Nintendo.
