    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”.
