    Regardless of price, Nintendo is a shit legacy company that is riding on the coattails of the 90’s.

    They never have games on steep discounts like their competitors, ensure emulations and artistic expressions are shut down immediately, and barely change shit to their flagship games such as Pokemon. They’re creatively stale and are blessed to have a rabid fan base who can’t see through it.

    I got a switch since my kid brought grades home, but that’s the last piece of electronic device I’ll ever buy from Nintendo. This is someone who has played back in its heyday the N64.

    People who ‘boycott’ and go back to buying what they boycotted because said company pushed out a halfass apology tweet deserve to lose their money.

      You seem to be missing the point, the Nintendo Switch is handily the most popular game console in US gaming history. It has officially sold more units than the PS2.

      I’m sorry that you don’t appreciate the switch, it’s an amazing general purpose gaming console.

        Switch is still behind PS2 and DS. Don’t think they’ll get that 3rd wind to get them across thr finish line for 1st place. Pandemic + AC releasing timing was a lightning in a bottle type of coincidence to help get the sales to the 150m mark.
