Nintendo is a company that has had more than 40 years in the video game industry, despite being the most experienced in the current times, at certain times it has enjoyed absolute glory, but not all was happiness in this company, as there were years of failure due to different reasons.

As great examples of failures in the area of video games we can see the Virtual Boy, which represented losses in the millions for the company, another more recent console, which also failed, was the Nintendo Wii U, which sold a sum of 13 million consoles. In this last one there were really incredible video games, but due to the few sales they were not very popular.

However, at present this company has one of the best successes thanks to the Nintendo Switch. From its launch in 2017 until May 2020 it has had more than 55 million units sold, making it one of the most popular consoles. This brings as a consequence that many of its games are very played due to the amount of video consoles that are in the market.
