Yes, those last systems sold like hotcakes, but the Quality of the games was questionable. Well, not the Wii U, that was trash.

The only way that will ever make any sense is if we admit the PS2 is the biggest failure of all time, since the amount of shovel ware and barely playable garbage basically started the idea of mass producing low-energy games for whatever console happened to be selling the hottest. But that would be silly, because like the PS2, the sheer volume of Wii games means there's likely some between Nintendo and their 3rd parties that will be enough to appease most.

It makes even less sense for the DS, seeing as how long it's legacy lasted, it's sales, and it's responsibility for hosting some new IPs, some that went on to be huge (Ace Attorney comes to mind), or breathing new life into other IPs that went on to become huge (Fire Emblem, Advance Wars, etc.). Hell, the assumption the DS line is dead stems from thinking Nintendo won't bother anymore now that the Switch fulfills the portable console need.

The Wii U, definitely a failure, mostly doomed by a terrible marketing scheme more than anything.

Random response to piggyback off of Zeus' Marvel TV spiel, it took me like 2 months to watch JJ1. I just couldn't get into it, the characters, and the super 1-D story. Like, I get the point that JJ is moody and unlikeable due to her history, but someone should have clued the showrunners in on how that still makes her un-fun to watch. Especially when it became a one-trick routine to have everyone question her on if she'd ever stop being a cold bitch.

I also remember the most excited I got with the show was when Kilgrave seems to honestly suggest that even he isn't aware sometimes when he's using his powers, and suggests he wasn't sure if he made JJ like him via powers, or naturally seduced her.
"What's this?", I thought. "An actual story telling dilemma? Could it actually be the case that Kilgrave is telling the truth, and that how he hurt JJ could have come from lack of control, and not malice? Would that threaten to upend JJ's entire life view up until this point? Is he just lying through his teeth?". But no, the show has JJ instantly discredit and ignore this idea, and it's never brought up again. The one chance it had to be complex or interesting to me went right out the window.
