I personally believe that outside factors like the impact of Mobile on the handheld sector lead to the Switch rather than the Switch being a result of continuing the innovation concerning the Wii U unless you mean innovation that lead to poor sales. those changes to the mobile market meant that Nintendo were now faced with a declining handheld market along with weak Wii U sales and while they had the resources to ride out another console with Wii U sales numbers, the down turn in both meant that change had to happen, so a unified approach with the added synergies of having one product in terms of both hardware and software development was the way forward hence the hybrid switch. |
Mobile has nothing to do with console sales, mobile is a totally different market.
The switch succeeded because its a 3ds and wiiU successor combined. 3ds + wiiU account for around 94 million sales, which makes sense.
WiiU was also impacted by its name as many people though it was a new controller for the wii, had it been named differently sales would have been much higher.
If the switch was not portable it would not sell even half.
