This is the original post where 30 million is mentioned,

"PlayStation 3 (while I don't agree) is actually considered a flop to some. Ohhh man an 85+ million selling console being seen as a disappointment. Then what do you say about the OG Xbox, Gamecube and N64 systems selling like anywhere between the 15-30 million range."

You dont understand how English works if you think Streak said those consoles selling less than 30 million were successful and all Mandalore did was explain how there is more to success/failure than just unit sales, he never stated that sub-30 million was a success.

The only one making bad claims and trying to cover someone on a wrong basis is you at the moment.

You did see he also quote me right?

" The reason why 22 million Gamecube's sold isn't looked at in the same way, is because Nintendo didn't lose $3.3 billion while selling them.  Nintendo was profitable during that gen.  Same for Wii U.  Nintendo posted losses early in the gen, but had returned to profitability prior to the launch of the Switch.  It's all about context."

Seems very indicative that he doesn't consider GC or WiiU as flops or failures.

Nope that's just you putting words in his mouth. He never says GC or Wii U were successful, he said they arent seen in the same way because they didnt cause Nintendo to lose billions.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
