This thread: "Nintendo so stupid. Everyone hates them! They're gonna go bankrupt cuz no ones going to buy their games because of their bad business practices!"
Reality: The Switch 2 has one of the strongest console launches, despite increased prices. Their games continue to hold more value than others, with used games selling for near, or even above, their original sale price. Their consoles and games remain the #1 pick for families with kids.
You people are delusional. Yes, Nintendo's practices are scummy. No, this does not affect their numbers in any way. They are still wildly successful, and even if they weren't, they have such a huge reserve of capital that they could operate in the red for 20 years and still be fine.
You heard it here first, folks: other people disagree with you, so you aren't allowed to complain. Nintendo has been successful despite your complaints, so you're now required to suck it up and buy it, as society demands.
I think the point was that there are many people here are „predicting” that Nintendo is somehow going to go bankrupt because of this. People can no longer discern between wishful thinking and reality, it shows in many areas of life to tbh. No, you won’t wish something into existence just because it’s „right”.
To add, Nintendo goes after dumb parents and kids. Anyone that knows anything about tech play on better hardware or build PCs. Now with the PC handhelds Nintendo scrammed and raised prices. People will continue to buy them because their kids want them.
They also go for autistic people because we love those pokémans. Can’t use children as an excuse to buy stuff but I’m the coolest uncle around.
