Nintendo DS and Switch are the second and third most sold consoles ever, respectively. Gameboy and GB Colour comes in fourth of you count them together. Wii is sixth or seventh depending on if you group the above.

I think people like their consoles.

Oh I know they do great on some (most?) of their consoles, but I still think they do better at actual games than they do at consoles. Also, aren't consoles almost always money losers, anyway? Like, they take a hit so that they can sell more games, which actually make them the money? Or is Nintendo the exception to that rule or thumb?

They've had some flops...Wii U, DSi, Virtualboy...but they ain't no game.com. Way more hits than misses in the console realm.
