That’s 2 out of the last 3 in the past 12 years, and it doesn’t look like that’s changing any time soon. Looks like you’re wrong on that one.  Nintwndo being wildly successful is fairly normalized now.

Wii was an exception. Different market and all.

Switch, to me, is still an exception: what made it a winner was a bunch of factors that happen once in a lifetime: new concept (not tech innovation; unrepeatable); return to form of Mario and Zelda - not to mention they both released in 10 months; other system sellers in that same period; an already big userbase to take advantage off.
These factors put together are something i can't recall in this industry.

Not to forget that Switch sales have been pretty much irrelevant to PS4 and XB1, which a lot of people ignore or don't care, but is really relevant.

When Nintendo can have this type of success without most of the above, then it will be the norm, not the exception.

When you talking about 2 from last 3, we dont talk any more about exception.

And PS4/XB1 it seems that pretty much PS4/XB1 are irrelevant to Switch, simple they are difrent enugh they can coexist on market and people actaly buy PS4 and Switch or XB1 and Switch, and NPD already reported that huge number of Switch owners also owns PS4 or XB1 in US (70% of Switch Owners in the USA own a PS4 or Xbox One).
