Thought this was always obvious 🤷‍♂️

Digital is the future tho....

I just bought 3d all stars at costco yesterday... As far as I'm concerned there is time limit to return it... (Please correct me if I am wrong) If nintendo releases the games separately on the eshop in the next year I'll just return the collection 😆

Vote with your wallet. That's all you can really do.

Nintendo is king at manipulating us. Game design from 2-3 gens ago. Online infrastructure on par with the PS2. Reselling us the same games over and over and over. Yet we all eat it up like hotcakes (myself included). Look at Breath of the Wild. Did it do ANYTHING new for video games? No. Did it do a ton new to the Zelda franchise? Absolutely; and we went crazy for it, because finally they took a step toward the present era of gaming. In reality it was only catching up to game design from about 5 years before it's release akin to something like Far Cry 3. We need more games like Tem Tem pushing Nintendo to step up their game.

The reason Nintendo is winning is because people think of its console as more of a pair in hand with the ps or xbox. Versus most getting either or with a ps or xbox.

Holy hell. You manipulate yourself everyday you try to convince yourself “it’s them”. Blame your own dumb spending habits/decisions on yourself there cheesepuff.

Or pay attention to what other seasoned gamers have preached long, long...LONG ago. i.e. water is wet fishypoo.

Ladies and gentlemen...gameverse; they’ll be whining here all week.

Nintendo manipulated me, I Started paying for there games and now I get them for free. Not that there’s been much worth pirating recently but it’s there when needed. I’ll give the company money again the day I feel like they deserve it.

No duh, they been doing this since forever now.

NO WAY!!!

Yeah rather then you know lower prices to keep interest, they'd rather just remove your ability to buy it altogether because lowering prices is for the rest of the industry.

only the weak mind ;)

It's had the complete opposite effect on me, I just don't buy their games. Been trying to find a 2DS for months now and can't find one unless I over pay for it. I would've loved playing Sunshine again on the Switch, but being pressured to buy it at full price isn't gonna work on me. I'd love to play Skyward Sword for the first time, but not at that price and seeing as it'll never go down I price I guess I never will.

"First time, uh?"

I still don't see why this is news to anyone or a big deal. If you want a game, get it when its available. You had months.

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
