That insight happened 30 years ago. Nintendo's best selling consoles and games have always been portable systems.


I think you're forgetting the massive powerhouse that was the Wii.


Nintendos influence goes very deep into all gaming these days. Portable games started with Game-n-Watch and Gameboy, NES started off the popularity of game consoles, etc.


Wii was the third best seller, and the only non-portable in the top 5.


It's true, but compared to its seventh-gen contemporaries (the 360 and PS3), it sold about 15m more than either.

(The Wii U, on the other hand, sold abysmally.)
