| Pyro as Bill said: Can you name all these major post-success mistakes that Nintendo has a reputation for because I only count WiiU? |
Ninty 64, probably their biggest failure as console maker, it was their defeat on read ocean market and ultimately opened a market for Sony become a stronghold on home console market they preserved til today
After N64 Nintendo needed to revise their strategy every generation because they can't be sucessful anymore competing in the same market space with Sony as proved with Game Cube. When Nintendo hardware and games are attractive besides Sony they succeeds (Wii, Switch), when not they bomb (Game Cube, Wii U). I'm general I see Nintendo position on home console market as much more complex than both Microsoft and Sony and their sales floating so much between generations shows that
Switch in other hand is correcting this problem consolidating Nintendo into a new hybrid business model. On handheld market Nintendo was always absolute, so as long they keep releasing hybrids I'm sure they will not ever have a flop like GC or Wii U again
