Hahahaha, no. Nothing will ever be as big of a bomb that the GC was. (It's sad that the GC did bomb though.)

- Nintendo remained profitable through that time
- We got arguably more great games than Wii if you're a Nintendo core fan

Real bombs are ones that threaten the company's future.

Never heard of Bandais Wonderswan? The Virtualboy? Apple Pippin? N-Gage? And a lot more.

I don't even remember to consider those consoles, that's just how bad they bombed.

(I was meaning for the Top 3 companies.)

I truly do agree with you on your second point. The GameCube was and is my favorite console.

But I was talking about unit sales.

Nintendo are the great survivor of the video game age. They'll probably always be around.

My opinion that these aren't even consoles also remains.

It really won't be long now before the PS3 surpasses the 360. I said around October 2013 is when it will happen but I now think it will accomplish it during the summer of 2013.

Halo 4 looks like it will sell 160-175k this week.
