Nintendo's success with the Switch both a blessing and a curse?

Nintendo is the "brand".  I have a feeling though that the Switch brand is going to be the future for them going forward (Switch 2, Switch Pro, Switch Lite, etc) and they have learned their lesson with the Wii U.

Even if Nintendo is the brand, its still very inconsistent. Just look at GC to Wii or WiiU to Switch. PlayStation has 5 out of 6 systems selling over 80M. Nintendo is all over the place. Its still a strong brand and Nintendo do have several of the strongest IPs. I just think overall PlayStation is the strongest brand in the industry and have been since the PS1.

Nintendo has 5 systems that crossed 80+ million as well... their focus was clearly handheld after the N64... they were able to not only thrive but grow in the face of much stiffer competition than what Sony has faced yet, cell phones and tablets... now that they are the last one standing in the handheld market and a singular focus (Switch brand) their console business will thrive (look at what they have pumped out in less than 3 years for games...)
