No, it's not better. It's different and a great idea but if I had to choose I'd go with a traditional home console. Consoles like the ps4 and XBO offer more to developers to create their games than the switch does and they would play games we'll find on the switch with but for the switch, it doesn't offer enough to be able to play the same games was the other consoles. The traditional consoles released just over 3 years ago are offering more for the money than a 2017 console. Nintendo themselves keep pushing this as a home console first and as a home console it's not enough (though I will be getting it for Nintendo games). I never expected the Switch to be on par with the other consoles but I did expect its price to reflect that. And this isn't about being "broke" as some Nintendo fans seem to be claiming. It's about realising you're not getting enough for what you pay. If you're OK with that then fine. I'll be doing it too but I still see and acknowledge that it's overpriced. The portability isn't enough to say it's worth it when its support of big 3rd party games looks as if it will continue the usual nintendo trend. Like I said above, the switch is a great idea and I thought so from the first reveal trailer shown last year but its price just doesn't reflect what we'll get while competing console have and get more for a cheaper price. That's why I think it's not better than a traditional console.

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
