WHAT ACHIEVEMENTS
HAVE THEY HAD?

the new Nintendo DS of 2004 had

not only maintained that enormous
advantage over the competition,
but had also managed to expand
the audience and bring video
games into the hands of adults of
all ages, through innovative
proposals and an intuitive control
system. It was that philosophy that
defined the course of the
Revolution project, later baptized
Nintendo Wii: a console for the
whole family, in which the
fundamental thing was the
experience and not the technical
power.

 YOUR
FAILURES
• The Virtual Boy was criticized by
critics and was a commercial
failure, even after repeated price
drops. Its flaw has been attributed
to its high price, monochrome
screen, unwesome stereoscopic
effect, lack of true portability and
health problems. Stereoscopic
technology in video game consoles
resurfaced in later years with more
success, including Nintendo's 3DS
handheld console..
 Nintendo Switch was the best-selling console in the first
quarter of 1, according to a report published by consultancy
Ampere Analysis.
The console of the Japanese manufacturer appeared in front
of the company's video games. Sony and Microsoft with a 12%
increase in sales, compared to the same quarter last year. In
concrete terms, the Switch sold 5.86 million units, in total, in the
YOUR first three months of the year.

console of the 1st tri. Image: Amp analysis/reproduction
Still, according to the analytics website, Switch will continue to
outssed the two rival consoles throughout 2021. And the
reason? The global semiconductor chip crisis, caused by the
impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. This difficulty, which
affected the PS5 and Xbox series in its entirety, should persist
throughout the year and allow Nintendo to remain ahead in
sales, which, interestingly, has already admitted that the
global shortage of components will also hit the company.
