The only thing Nintendo has proven is it wants to take steps backward and not actually listen to consumer. Nintendo would rather tell you whats fun instead of listen to what you find fun.

The fact the switch will use micro sd cards is not a plus considering there are two known games that already use more storage than the Switch has.

While the Switch wont likely be the last Nintendo.....whatever it is, I hope they actually learn a lesson this time around.

Want to see one of the most ignorant statements in internet today if not in months or even years ?, just read this article's title. ;)

There's alot of information about this matter and also is called one of the Most dumb decisions corporation made in history.

I'm sorry, but Aloy would destroy Link in a 1 v 1 fight

Well sure it paid off. It effectively allowed a new challenger to help take out their then nemesis in Sega. And all they had to do was give up exponentially more market share over the years. It's like they signed some backroom deal with PlayStation and never even read the terms.

Good keep that money ,use for other worth items Instead of following along .

Was waiting for the joke but it never came so I will assume the entire thing is joke.

Gonna go play some Siphon Filter before it's too late /s

That decision caused Sony to create their own gaming console.... Not so sure that was what Nintendo wanted!

Payed off? Their lack of inclusion of CD is the number one reason they lost almost all support for that gen, and allowed Sony to become such a dominate presence in the marketplace.

Sure, it's great that consumers get a more reliable medium compared to the optical from those early CD gens, but it in no way paid off for Nintendo in the least.

Anyhow, while I have come across a few discs out of a couple thousand from various optical gens/devices, where it's either rotted, or I suspect there is rot, it actually doesn't amount to even 1% of my collection....much of it brought 2nd hand. I've had more carts not work than CD's, outside the CD's that had heavy physical damage due to owner neglect.

Not back then, it didn't.

But in the here and now?

3DS and DS did fantastic with them, and now that the tech in SD cards is better, they're ready to make an even bigger splash with Switch.
It depends on which era you're referencing, but the fairest way to call it is that it's had its ups and downs for the company, but never really brought lasting harm to them.

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
