Anyone else think that, while the sales have been strong for a single console, they look a bit mediocre when u consider this one machine has succeeded 2 consoles? Would we be praising nintendos sales if they were currently selling a portable and a home console with each selling half as much? Just a thought.

Thats not how things work. Just a few points for you to think about (there are many more, but perhaps they will come to you when you think about it):

  • Switch price is much higher than the price of WiiU or 3DS
  • Switch has higher game prices
  • Switch has not even had a single price cut
  • Switch is already selling almost as much as WiiU and 3DS combined

Going by sale statistics Switch will most likely outsell combined numbers of WiiU and 3DS by a large margin before the Switch successor arrives (and Switch already made Nintendo more money than both predecessors combined).

Yeah I guess so. If ur comparing the switch directly to those consoles that mostly makes sense. (Wiiu did start at 300&350 tho. 3ds at 250 w an almost immediate price cut) Personally I was thinking about 10do systems in general. Cube for example I wanna say sold around 40mill? Not wii successful but not wiiu either. Gboy advance im not sure. Surely more. 70-80mill? So switch would have would have a ways to go yeah? Def seems plausible. Would that still be wildly successfull or does it become a bit more expected? Again its just a thought. Feel free to share some further insight or points of view.
