BOOOO!!! It should have stayed on the handheld, not the home console!!

Two years late, but whatever

Bonk's Revenge, but not Bonk's Adventure? That's like SMB 2 without SMB!

And too bad Wikipedia is edited by biased fanboys (proven by the locked pages), because their view of failure is based on bias articles that only agree with partial statements, ignoring facts that di...

@aross2004: not really going strong, otherwise they wouldn't have added another model, sales have been dropping year-on-year with them missing sales targets of both the 20 million and the revised 17 m...

@nargg: it must be nice being 8 years old and not understanding jokes.

@beantownsean: nope, always considered it a handheld with a dock, because in Japan it's literally sold without the dock as a handheld system! More so now- kind of like DS and DS Lite, but still, it's ...

@Xristophoros: because it's literally going after the 3DS crowd- can the 3DS's games be played on a television? THAT is why this dedicated handheld can't do that, if the 3DS couldn't do it, the 3DS's ...

@Furwings: Iwata said back in 2015 that it was going to get more form factors than prior systems (this was before even more variations of 3DS), so expect even more variants to be released for it the r...

When is the 3DS going to get a successor?! Oh, wait...

This would be a fair comparison if you compare the 3DS at this point in its life to the Switch. The 3DS didn't have a Pokemon release as early as Let's Go for Switch did, and it still had higher sales...

@aross2004: not entirely true or false, as the PS4 is reaching saturation point in the US, and Switch is in its infancy, so of course it's going to outsell it, but compare it to the first 2 years of P...

@Elranzer: not just that, Japanese companies make more money from sales outside Japan than inside. When the Wii U finally turned profitable in 2015 ( http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2015/01/nintendo_...

@sladakrobot: Consoles don't sell well in Japan. GameCube sold 4 million, Wii U sold 3.3 million, just to give you an idea how Japan views Nintendo's home systems. Since this is sold without a dock in...

@Shantmaster_K: when haven't they?

As the tech bubble burst of 2001 showed these valuations are meaningless when the bubble pops. Right now it's expanding due to confidence, but it's going to recede at some point in the future.

They won't release a handheld version of a home console, or it wouldn't be a home console, now would it??

But Switch is NOT a handheld, it's a home console, why would they need a smaller version of a system that is made to sit under the television and not go outside the home???

Since when is free stuff I have to pay for?
