In some sense, yes. But, it is not clear to me that Sony and Nintendo learned as much from those flops as MS learned from XBone. The XBone's struggles pushed MS to completely refocus their gaming business. Sony just stopped doing handhelds, and I don't see that Nintendo really changed anything about how they operate at all. |
Nintendo from 2017-present compared to Nintendo in 2011-2016 is night and day different. Their hardware much more versatile, well designed, and developer-friendly, their marketing is much more savvy, they're generally a lot more in tune with their audience, their major games are more ambitious.
They clearly learned a lot from the Wii U's failings and adjusted accordingly.
