 A winning choice! I can still see stellar WiiU sales along the y-axis of the complex plane!   

The simplest thing we get from PSP nice sales competing with the giant DS and PSV failing against the greatly weaker selling 3DS is that making a prediction in the portable market is anything but linear and easy. I see big analysis and prediction fails both in the Ninty fans and Ninty haters fields. The biggest fails I saw up until now, anyhow, aren't in subjective analyses and predictions, in those cases most of the times you can simply say a certain prediction is very unlikely, but in doing even very simplified and quick maths based on current available data (for example, with an average 100k weekly lead, it would take almost 11 years to fill a 57M gap).

No one ever accused Nintendo of making good choices on WiiU, right?

 

I remember that once I wrote that maybe Ninty would have better made an entry-level WiiU version with a 5" display tablet controller, making it easier to handle and a lot cheaper to build (back then 5" displays already were dirt cheap), and at least one person answered me that the tablet was perfect as it was.
