Most Nintendo consoles have high sales at the start and then fade out. Unless they start releasing revisions like there's no tomorrow and we have double and triple dippers (which they probably will considering what we saw with 3ds) I don't see SW going that high. I could be wrong though, but feel free to quote me in the next few years when I am. |
No, they really don't.
Out of ten systems, only three match your description: Nintendo 64, GameCube, and Wii U. These are the only consoles whose sales "faded out" quickly. (And in the case of GCN and Wii U, saying that they had "high sales at the start" is dubious.)
N64 and GCN peaked in their first full fiscal year. The one that faded the quickest, though, is the Wii U, since its peak fiscal year was the period from November 2012 to March 2013.
An actually accurate statement would be "Failed Nintendo consoles have high sales at the start and then fade out," because all other Nintendo conoles peaked in their second full fiscal year or later, and enjoyed consecutive years selling 10+ million.
