Many of us knew this would happen and we are not experts, how is possible they weren't able to see it? It was obvious for anyone with a brain.

“Obvious” for those who were already sold on it because it’s from Nintendo.

Everywhere else, people were unsure about it because of how far behind the other consoles it is from a power perspective. Meaning porting any existing and upcoming projects wasn’t going to be a smooth and straight forward process. Plus, coming off the failure that was the Wii U, nobody can hold it against them for being cautious.

Also, I would suggest you keep those ironic jabs about people’s brains out of your over-defensive comments if you wish to stick around. 

It was a handheld, it was always going to be a success. It was also obvious it was going to be a bigger success than the 3DS because Nintendo could now focus entirely on one platform instead of splitting their resources between two platforms. 

Nintendo has a 100% success rate when it comes to handhelds so far, so if a Japanese gaming company didn't see this coming then they deserve to fail. The ones who were too late to react or bet on the wrong horse have pretty much sealed their faith (Capcom, Level-5).
