    How many? The Wii was a runaway success because it was innovative and allowed casual family members to participate comfortably while also being active.

    The Wii U didn’t sell anything because it wasn’t.

    The Switch was a runaway success because it was the first handhold capable of playing real console tier games. It couldn’t quite manage the cutting edge, but it brought a lot of shit to handheld that wasn’t available before.

    The brand name plays a role for parents looking for gaming for their super young kids, but it’s not why their successful devices have succeeded.
