Intresting.

TBH I don't see any correlation, apart from the obvious like, less than $100 and no more than $300 launch price. If you take NES out of the equation, I'd say ... the curse of $199 price tag prevents systems to reach 50M barrier ??? Nah, there's nothing there. Software is the key.

3DS probably has the strongest lineup in terms of software of any Nintendo console ever so far...
and its only at 71M dispite alot of owners collecting them and haveing (3-4 models of them).


Software (quality & quantity) isnt the only thing that counts.
Wii Had a few really great games (mario galaxy I+II, Xenoblade, ect) but its overall library was kinda weak.... yet it went on to sell more than 100m.

Its hard to say what makes a succesfull console, esp with nintendo.
Maybe the Motion Controll & games for it + handheld aspect + Labo are enough to repeat the Wii's success though.
