Probably.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

They can always make a relevant console. The question is are they want to do that?



A handheld gamer only (for now).

Nope. Mess up once, that's it. It's been proven in several scientific studies done by Perez Hilton that if you produce a commercially unsuccessfuly product once, then you will never be able to produce a successful one again. I read about it in People. 

Most of market theory spectacularly fails when it tries to calculate culture and entertainment. If above statement is true, Nintendo's multiple failure in late 1970 should have collapsed the company entirely before 1985.

 

Yes, it always could. There are so many things in the market that Nintendo, Sony, and Microsoft can still do, and I will be always expecting more.



I don't see why they can't, but they really need to stop making silly decisions with their consoles. If NX is digital only, that thing is doomed.

Oh yeah, I was just joking. I compltely made that up. Extreme hyperbole. I only wish the best for the big three in gaming. There is always a chance for Nintendo to have another relevant home console. 



Hi

Console generations are weird. I mean people quote the drops between the Wii and Wii U and DS and 3DS to the casual market leaving or the mobile industry, and while I agree with that to only some extent, what about the drop off between the PS2 or PS3? What happened there? I also hear rumblings of the Xbone not being able to reach 360 numbers either.
Does that mean that the console market is shrinking or is something else at work there? Because I hardly think showing drops from one generation to the next is purely a Nintendo thing.
