Switch looks like the approach the DS took almost 15 years earlier when it phased out Game Boy in favor of the new DS. Remember in 2004 how the DS was not the successor to the Game Boy Advance? Yet, today, Wikipedia lists the DS as the Game Boy Advance’s successor!! Don’t forget too in 2006 when Game Boy Micro was flopping and the DS was flying off shelves, Reggie himself said that the Game Boy Advance was dead, and not getting a successor. Think that same thing will happen with 3DS? Very, very likely.

I have had a console buying addiction my whole life starting with the NES. I felt for the longest time that Sony and Microsoft were surpassing them. This time around not so much. After buying Xbone and PS4 i was disappointed. I feel that there is nothing unique about the systems. They might as well be PC’s. Every game release i find myself picking up the PC version. Nintendo seems the only one focused on an experience that you cant get with a PC. Nintendo games really hold there replay value over the years.
I would be nice if the NX could play DS games

The Wii U?
NA has always been the biggest market for Nintendo, while Europe has always been their weakest one (though Nintendo are very strong in continental Europe, such as France and Germany, they are weaker in markets like the UK).

What suprises me is how it was still selling so well in the US compared to Europe.

Funny. Except I’m not using VGChartz numbers. Try again, maybe?

Keep in mind these are only American sales. Worldwide Wii U sales start at 13.5 million units. Which is… still bad, but not that bad.
