  • You’re gonna have a very hard time convincing me that even a proportionality of switch owners bought it for the motion sensors. Let’s see some numbers.

    I also don’t understand how you can say that and “the tech is irrelevant“ in the same comment? Those two ideas bump.

    If your argument is “Nintendo is for kids“ I think you’re going to have a hard time selling me on that one too. “PS is too hard and inappropriate for children” is definitely a novel argument I’ll give you that.

    No the greatest strength Nintendo has is its first party library. Full stop. Want to play Mario? Gotta have a Nintendo. Want to play Zelda? Still Nintendo. Etc





  • I don’t where you are but in the US:

    • Switch 2 will be $450

    • Xbox Series S is $250, not $300

    • PS5 digital - which is exactly the same but no disc drive - is $400. I don’t know why you left that out except…well yeah it’s obvious why. Because it’s cheaper than a switch 2.

    I can also guarantee you you’ll get a Series X for $450 before you’ll get a switch 2 for that price, which will inevitably be scalped to hell for months to come. So the switch 2 will be the 3rd most expensive console on the market behind the PS5 Pro and the Xbox Series X at best, likely just the PS5 pro.

    Also: neither Sony nor Microsoft charges $80 for a standard edition game. And let me tell you, I hate Microsoft in particular so it chaps my ass to give them any credit.







  • Who would I be astroturfing for? You can’t just point at anybody you disagree with and go “astroturfing” as if it’s a magical incantation that makes them go away. A lot of people are critical of Nintendo, I know you know that. My stance should not be all that surprising even if you disagree with it.

    I just think Nintendo charges way too much for their games and they charge too much for hardware that is long in the tooth at launch. I get it, the only way to play a Nintendo game is on their hardware and they’re so good they justify the cost. I’ve heard theargument, I respect it, But ultimately I just think the prices are ridiculous either way.
