    Biggest problem is that despite having such a large library of exclusive games that people want is the hardware. Westerners like myself could never imagine that being the most popular console here in America when we can get a pre-built gaming computer, admittedly for a lot more price wise and emulate those games with better performance and still be able to play more games than just those exclusives.

      the article lists a source. Game Watch. Translated from Japanese to English.

      “Cumulative domestic sales of Nintendo’s game console “Nintendo Switch” series exceeded 33.34 million units. It exceeded the record for the Nintendo DS series of 32.99 million units, making it the best-selling game console in history in Japan.”

      This is much easier if you read the article and check the sources yourself.

          mine as well. I had a gba sp that I used until the plastic showed under the paint from wear and the hinge no longer clicked.

          loved that console.

      Relatively cheap, loads of amazing games and appeals to a lot of different people.

      It’s not rocket science.

        The games are incredibly expensive. As nobody but Nintendo sell them. There are far fewer games to choose and they are lower quality.

        Don’t get it at all. But that’s why I’m not running the companies
