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.

What isn't seem the same way as a flop or a failure? You don't see the "context" gave that justify seeing PS3 as a flop and that these other aren't looked in the same way indicating they aren't failures?

What would you say on the PS4 sales because they had 2 price cuts against Switch no pricecut? No downplaying at all?
