The Nintendo brand has remained strong thanks to their popular IP and handheld performance. Outside of Wii their home console market had been poor in the 21st century so doing better than GC & Wii U doesn't mean much. |
Errr... but we are not talking just about GC and Wii U here..
At the end of gen8 things will be like this:
1)Switch
2)Wii
3)SNES
XONE
4)NES
5)N64
6)GC
7)Wii U
8)VB (Yes, I'm counting it bcuz people like to pretend that it never existed, just like some people are starting to do with the WiiU)
So, in all of Nintendo's history, only three out of eight home consoles will have sold more than the Xone at the end of gen8.
That it had mediocre sales compared to PS4? Sure
That it had mediocre sales compared to 360? Sure
But I think that acting like it has been the biggest failure in gaming history is actually pushing it. Because it is not even close.
