They used to be the weird genius, but they've become the greedy freaks.

N64 and GameCube were a huge success.

Okay and people often had both. Point still stands that N64 and GameCube were household names at the time. Break out by region and the numbers are closer.

No one is saying they sold more. Plus the PS2 was still being sold even after the PS4 was made. From a financial perspective they sold just fine at the time in most countries.

Or rather everyone else has stopped way below so that Nintendo is still at the top.

Nintendo repeatedly pushed back plans for the Switch 2’s launch after its designers asked for more time to perfect the games that would accompany the new hardware, according to people familiar with the matter.

That's an interesting tid bit.
