Why would they go from NES Mini > SNES Mini > Switch Mini? Shouldn't they reach N64,GC,Wii and Wii U mini first?

Yea but I don't see it going too much longer past holiday 2018. Maybe push till holiday 2019.

I thinnk the main reason is, that the 3DS was/is still selling good, so they targeted at first home console.
I doubt they could fix up a new hardware in a year, if they wanted to bring a successor to 3DS in case Switch fails, they must have at least played around with some prototypes. Not that we would ever know about it if they did.
Nintendo is going to make 25-30 million Switches in FY 2018. They are putting a lot of eggs in this basket. My guess is they are going to do everything they can to sell 100 million units over the lifetime of the Switch.

Well, I would consider the 3DS a success at this point. It beat it's competition, it's probably turned profit (thats why Nintendo keeping it alive to keep the $$$ flowing), it has an extensive game library and it sold a decent number of consoles (80 million is nothing to scoff at). If you say then PSP is a success - well it fails the first criteria, but overall I don't think PSP was a failure and would be OK with it called a success.
Switch will do somewhere between Wii & DS numbers.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
| IkePoR said: The gaming market is growing daily and the Switch is blazing hot with Nintendo chasing these third parties down to make their machine even more appealing. The indie scene is already great and one can only assume Nintendo's kicking out yen yen yen to get the thing promoted. I think it's very possible with their current efforts to hit between 70 and 90 million. I see the Switch hitting 70m pretty solidly during the next 4.5 years. However, if Nintendo is to release a Switch 2, I can see the og Switch coasting to 80 during the first couple of years of Switch 2's cycle. If the market is there however, and Nintendo has no inclination to proceed with the next console, I expect Switch to rumble into 90m pretty handily. |
I see the market as shrinking for the big three. just look at the handheld market 230 milliom with psp and ds to 85 million with with vita, and 3DS. look at how bad xbone and wiiu did compared to there predecessor. switch will start off strong , but it will slow down next year hard, i also expect ps5 and the nextxbox to struggle, especially the nextbox,probably there last console.

I thought the 3DS was a success? Its on its way to 70mil.

That's not how it works. That eliminates all context from the equation.
