If they even bothered to do that, they would need to share a library. After the SNES, Nintendo's only home console that matched or exceeded sales expectations was the Wii. Nintendo has made plenty of risky or foolish decisions in the past, and making another home console would be one of those. And I highly doubt 200 million would happen, whether two SKUs at launch or two separate platforms. Switch probably won't sell above 160 million, and it might not even hit 150 million or above. The Switch successor, whether hybrid or with a home console option, will probably not sell above 115 million. There's a good chance it stops at 100 million or a little under. And if Nintendo outright abandons the hybrid out of the box model, I see this happening. Next home console: 34-38 million Next handheld: 68-72 million |
I love how folks see Nintendo's success and still feel that it is a failed product. Yeah, let's follow in Microsoft's shoes, that seems to be doing gangbusters for them in the marketplace against Sony. Nintendo always works to find their niche in the gaming landscape, and while they definitely notch up a few failures, their successes more than make up for their blunders. Ironically, the thing Nintendo, a company known for reinventing the wheel, needs to do this time around is just do the same thing...better.
-More Power
-More Storage
-Better or Comparable Battery Life
-Better Online
-Better Eshop
-Better Control Sticks
-Better D-Pad
And, of course, backwards compatibility, at least on the digital storefront side of things.
