TolstoyMy family and I played a switch 2 for this first time at pax this weekend and none of us were impressed.
That's an interesting tid bit.
They used to be the weird genius, but they've become the greedy freaks.

I wouldn't call the Virtual Boy, Wii U or maybe even the GameCube and N64 successes when compared to their contemporaries though. Not saying they aren't greedy, but they do miss occasionally
N64 and GameCube were a huge success.
N64 v PS1 is an almost 70million sale difference.
GCN v PS2 is even larger at an almost 140mil sale difference. Even Xbox had them beat by almost 3mil

Okay and people often had both. Point still stands that N64 and GameCube were household names at the time. Break out by region and the numbers are closer.
No one is saying they sold more. Plus the PS2 was still being sold even after the PS4 was made. From a financial perspective they sold just fine at the time in most countries.
Or rather everyone else has stopped way below so that Nintendo is still at the top.
