| RolStoppable said: I predicted a minimum of 100m units in January, so beating Wii U and 3DS combined has long been a safe bet from my perspective. There was never a separate 3DS successor planned because Nintendo made that clear enough. Some PR statements to keep the 3DS going for a little while longer don't change that. If you bought into PR and used it as a leap to believe into a separate 3DS successor, then that's solely on you. As for your tremendously hypothetical question (after all, Switch is going to sell more than 80m with ease), Switch would still be a moderate success at less than 80m sold. The system is going at a pace that will make it eclipse the combined profits of 3DS and Wii U within two years on the market with plenty of room to spare. Of course it would be majorly disappointing if Nintendo messed up Switch that hard in your hypothetical scenario, but the profits wouldn't vanish. |
Should be noted that that's not exactly a great yardstick to measure financial success by.
