    A Switch cost half what a flagship mobile phone cost and the Switch 2 has been immensely successful.

      Yeah they understand their market just fine I think, it’s just that most people here aren’t the target audience

      And yet the flagship phones have MUCH better screens, FAR more functionality, and oh yeah…, WAY more licensing fees.

      Never mind that the actual hardware cost is far below EITHER price tag, at the time.

      Nintendo fucks their customers harder. They’re almost as bad as old Apple fans, justifying getting fucked in the ass for … clout?! Clown customers.

      The very definition of “mindless consumers”.

        At least they don’t get fucked in terms of game quality and in-game greed.

          Outside of the fact that Nintendo games basically never go on sale, though that could also be chalked up to shitty management/execs.

          Of course the workers themselves are good. A company really has to try to have shitty workers.
