I think Nintendo is a wonderfully run company. They are probably a bit too set in their ways of doing things, but they always seem to be ready to take advantage of an opportunity or minimize the damage of a bad product launch. How many companies could have survived the WiiU?


Not only survived the Wii U but followed it up with a smash hit. The Switch is now the third best selling console of all time, behind only the Nintendo DS and the PlayStation 2.


Nintendo's secret sauce is their historically-huge (way above average) R&D investment. And for all the slack they get about being too traditional, the one thing I can say about following the company for 20 years is you never know what they're going to do next.

Meanwhile, PlayStation 6, Pixel 9, and iPhone 16 are foregone conclusions.
