    I mean, the switch 2 is nothing magical from the hardware side. Even the first was genuinely shitty compared to flagship smartphones of the time. Nintendo simply fundamentally fails to understand the environment they’re dealing with these days.

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

        And yet Nintendo stock is worth half of what it was before switch 2 launched… I don’t understand economics

        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”.
