    Nintendo can’t do as well as they did with the swtich without a failure somewhere. Such as the way of the Nintendo universe. Wii U, Virtual Boy, Game Cube. I think they are due.

      This may be rose colored glasses talking, but IMO the GameCube wasn’t a failure. It had quite a few iconic titles (SSBM, Animal Crossing, Mario Galaxy Sunshine) and to this day the GC controller is still considered one of, if not the best, way to play smash bros.

          Agreed, but it was comparable (in sales) to the Xbox and not too far behind the N64. It certainly didn’t put Nintendo under, but of course you could say the same for the Wii-U. Financially you could argue it was a failure (and be largely correct), but IMO whether a console failed or not is more than just the raw units sold.

          Also, I misspoke in my original comment - Galaxy was on the Wii, not the GC. Must have been thinking about Sunshine.
