From the makers of

"We already have a product for offline gaming it's called Xbox 360"

And

"Don't y'all have phones?"

Comes

"If you can't afford this console, buy the older cheaper one"

Guys, Nintendo has always been one of the greediest video game companies out there. Are yall new to the gaming world? Have you guys just been so loyal to the company that you've gave a blind eye for Nintendo until now?

Right?

everything theyve done for almost the entire duration of the switch was to extract maximum money from their loyal fans

success immediately goes to Nintendos figurative head and they immediately try to fuck over their fanbase as much as possible

Honestly there is nothing wrong with what was said.

If you can't afford this, then our other console still has games coming out for it.

They've used the same strategy in the past, just without the negative pr. They supported the NES into the SNES's life cycle, GB into GBA, Wii into WiiU.
Though, I doubt they're going to continue to actually support the Switch in the same way considering they're barely producing games for it at this point.

They may have to, depending on how harsh Trump impacts things.

This.

I dont see why people are freaking out over it so much. Ultimately, if you dont believe that the price is fair, dont buy it. They arent obligated to make the latest console affordable for you, and they arent the reason that you dont have more money.

This. People are acting like Bowser has any say as far as pricing decisions which he doesn't. This isn't really like the Mattrick situation at all

There's nothing wrong with what Microsoft said either. If you don't like always online, just stay on the Xbox 360.

People really be overreacting to what is in essence a guy saying "something dipped in water becomes wet."

What do you expect the guy to say? Nintendo is releasing a console more geared towards the high end of the market and likely expect this console to be around for the better part of a decade, they're clearly expecting it to be an investment from the consumer (just like developing it is an investment from them) and if a customer hasn't got the financial ability to buy one right away and wants a Nintendo product this year, well, the Switch 1 is still around and being supported.

I'm not sold on the Switch 2 yet but I'm also not really seeing the issue here.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


Just earlier today it was announced Sony's the only system not allowing cross-save support for Vampire Survivors because they demanded info about the dev's partners that they can't share.

Sony always finds a way to be the absolute worst about everything.

uh, do the specs actually back that up?

because it seems like they're just releasing a console that's as far behind as their previous one was, but for an extra $200

The price is not a feature, nor is it trying to be sold as a positive. This is a bad comparison.

Pointing out an alternative is in no way treating people like shit or telling them what to do with their money. Youre coming across a little unhinged here. Are you okay?

It's telling a lot of people what to do. It's telling a lot of people they don't care if their new product sells to treat those people like that.

I'm not even a PR guy, but am a bit of a salesman to my line of work, and I could think of three ways better to say that off the top of my head.

Offering the original Switch, which was dated at the time of launch and will receive none of the games they've shown aside from ones already on the or announced years before is a bad move. As a formerly homeless person, people telling lower income folks they don't deserve something new is a touchy spot.

I owe Nintendo no loyalty, they don't deserve my money, and the talking point they chose un-sold them a console. Easy enough with every detail spelled out?
