It's great hardware without a true killer app on the software side

Economy priced this thing out for a lot of people too

Remember 3DS started slow, did a whole price drop thing and ended up being very successful

S2 needs a new Mario and Zelda, a half decent Pokemon and it's doing fine...Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem.. Xenoblade... All of a sudden you have a library

It'll end up "flopping" and becoming one of the highest selling platforms ever I guess...

Seeing Nintendo scale their first party games into a 4K world is interesting

I wonder if they'll get momentum quickly, because customers are going to want voice acting, great textures and all of that in these games, if they plan to charge 90 dollars a pop

I also think outside of Zelda Nintendo making all Their games open world is kind of showing growing pains.

It literally got a GOTY candidate in Donkey Kong.

The primary reason the sales slowed down is that it was the fastest selling console ever out of the gate. People that wanted it were able to get it upfront so the sales weren't bottlenecked.

This.

That Mario Kart bundle lasted far longer than expected too. Ask me how I know :youngsabo:
