Things should only counted as a failure if the company lost money in that department. But fans care about numbers. Everyone wants each new system to do double the last. If that happend the PS3 needed to sell 240 million. And the PS4 needs to sell nearly 500 million. Not gonna happen. What's the most popular tv event in the USA. The superbowl.

100 million people watch it right. over 200 million don't care. Is that series a failure?  It's all relative. What about all consoles. They sell lik ecrap, if you look at the planets population. It's the same logic with N64, GC, and even Wii. People hated them. But who cares? They brought in profit to the company. Not a loss.

Ok, who quoted me?

By this logic PS4 is selling as badly then. Both systems are selling well, so I don't understand either. XD

Nintendo have been releasing consoles fast for many years now. Have they lost loyalty?

By what logic is PS4 selling as badly? 

It's the worst selling Nintendo handheld since prior to the launch of Pokemon in the US.

Last year was the lowest sales from Nintendo's handheld division since like 1997 or something. And that's with Pokemon X/Y and MH4 for Japan. 

It's still selling decent, but no one at Nintendo is popping champagne bottles because of it. It's on a sharp decline from a YoY basis too which is why people characterize it as a let down. The portable market is shrinking. 

Fast? 5 years is fast? Sega Released the Saturn release date at an event. And it was that day. The worst idea ever. Not to mention the Sega CD, 32x, CDX solo, and Saturn all within 2 years.

Not as fast as Sega did in the 90s, they needed to support the Saturn but only after a couple years they launched the Dreamcast which was destroyed by the PS2

You might want to read the whole conversation. He was the one saying "that's exactly what SEGA did".

And would a late 2015 release or early 2016 be as fast as Sega did?
