Nintendo has a new game console called 'Switch' ' here's how its past consoles have fared

Nintendo has a new gaming console. Its called the Switch, and true to its name, it can alternate between a device you play on your TV and a device you play on the road. While we have few details on how much itll cost, how well itll perform, and what games itll launch with, its already making the gaming world very excited.Thats good for Nintendo, since, as this chart from Statista shows, the companys latest consoles havent done so hot. The most recent Wii U has long been a bomb, and while the current 3DS handheld has been fine, it hasnt driven the kind of sales as the DS before it.So far, the Switch looks to be avoiding the mistakes of the predecessor, whose tablet controller always felt a bit half-baked, and whose name often confused everyday consumers. Whether or not thatll help it approach the success of the Wii, though, is a question we wont begin to know until next March, when the console becomes available.SEE ALSO:Tesla burns way more cash on R&D than traditional car makersJoin the conversation about this storyNOW WATCH: Microsoft just unveiled a $37 Nokia phone
