No. GameCube was a good value switch isn't. GameCube launched with a exciting 5 game 3rd party exclusive announcement like resident evil 4 and killer 7. Switching is launching with exclusives like ARMS and 1 2 switch.

GameCube before wii. Switch after wii. Very different.

Basically switch is bs.

I think it's too early to tell, we can all sit here and bash the Switch based on first impressions but absolutely none of us have really got to spend time with the device.

I mean it's easy enough to just throw something under the bus, but it's another thing to spend time with it and experience it.

I say ask this question in a year, and let the Switch be it's own thing.

Tell me again how the multiplatform strategy was supposed to fix everything. Look at your results and compare them to Nintendo, which keeps thriving with exclusives. Your loyal fans are gone. And let’s not forget the pile of IPs you purchased only to let them rot.

The worst thing is this is down from last years numbers/expectations which was down from the previous years numbers/expectations. You think about how long “down” has been a consistent part of the communication and you realize those subscriptions are what’s holding that boat together. The price cut of gamespass is still a price raise in a string of price raises. They are trying to use players to offset the missing revenue. Now call of duty is out of gamespass, which is literally WHY they bought the company. To draw people to the subscription. They realized they missed a boatload of money and that wasn’t sustainable. Now you pay for it like you would have if they never bought the company… so why buy the company? Mind you those billions still need to be paid back. Yeah it gives you a chance to say we make the biggest FPS… but the internal conversations must be brutal at high level on topics that really matter. Like revenue. Profitability. And ROI for the shopping spree.

Is this like the 10th quarter in a row they're down 33% on hardware how is that even mathematically possible. You would think their mediocrity would Plateau
