Just in case anyone had any doubt who the king was. I saw this on gaf:

When you add up total consoles sold:

NES (62m) +


SNES (49m) +


N64 (33m) +


GCN (22m) +


Wii (101m) =


267m total over five consoles and 30 years


(avg. 53.4m per console, 8.9m per year)

vs.

PS1 (102m) +


PS2 (155m) +


PS3 (80m) =


337m total over three consoles and 19 years


(avg. 112.3m per console, 17.7m per year)

Long live the king.




Now add the handhelds!

Or deduct the number of dead/replaced consoles.  How many PSXs, PS2s and PS3s did an average gamer go through?

So if this QOL Quality of life bullshit Nintendo is doing works out I can see it becoming more like a technology company. Not making Bluray players and laptops but cheap, unique gadgets. Sort of like going way back to the Nintendo Love Tester days. Maybe a ROB the robot Health station. A talking robot station for elderly people with all sorts of gadgets attached to remind them to take their medication, or test their blood pressure, measure their body fat. The robot could yell at them loudly to remind them. Or flash red until they press a button to confirm they're still alive. Maybe it would have Wii Connect 24 like always on wireless tech, with a webcam for relatives to monitor them.

Ruby and Sapphire, I think. Omega and Alpha. I don't even know, never was too big on the Pokemans.

Then Nintendo can invent the indoor smoking device. A cannister that absorbs the fumes from people smoking, they just mount the cigarette in it, then exhale into it. The special stuff in the canister absorbs the smoke so they can smoke indoors/cars and not bother people.

Then, B.O.N.E the sex robot, who uses Kinect like tech to monitor your technique and shouts out advice.

For 2016 the Mens in car urinary aid. A hose with suction that you connect to your man parts for long journeys. Need to pee? Just release and relax.

For 2017 the haircutting helmet, just put it on, wait 3 minutes and it will auto shave your head.

This.

My dad is borderline narcoleptic. One minute you've having a conversation the next you look over and he's flat out. Sleeps more than a cat!
