The pair of NES Controllers for Nintendo Switch Online are currently discounted for members, and it is the first time they have ever dropped in price. Deal is currently live and ends on May 4th.
Modern consoles aren’t one-time purchases. How PlayStation, Nintendo, and Xbox keep you inside their ecosystems.
TNS - In a documentary, PlayStation's father Ken Kutaragi recalled how tinkering with an NES made him believe he could build something even better.
Sony approached SEGA and the Mega CD was born. After the Mega CD, SEGA declined a deal with Sony for a 32bit CD console, the Mega Drive 32X was born. Sony went along with the PlayStation or the Nintendo PlayStation.
I appreciate Nintendo’s money loving killing the deal. They didn’t want to give Sony any percentage of money from any games sold so Sony said f it we will make our own console.
yea, the nintendo cd attachment didnt quite work out and sony was like
"yea no lets make our own"
and it worked out for them big time.
President Shuntaro Furukawa says he doesn’t think component shortages will be an issue due to new plan.
The 2017 Switch is based on the 2015 Tegra X1 so even if Nintendo is using technology from 2022, that alone still represents a significant improvement.
Should open pre-orders through the E-shop for a period before making it available through stores. And now that COVID is out the way, you can make in store preorders mandatory too. People interested wouldn't have much of an issue driving by if it meant keeping scalpers at bay for a bit.
I mean, the problem is these a-holes have bots that eat up every sites inventory. Then they sell it on eBay for stupid prices. No matter what you try to do we’re still going to have to fight through these human pieces of sh*t to get these damn consoles at launch.
Well I'll either see if I can get one online against bots or wait till they're saturated and buy in a brick and morter store. Waiting isn't an issue anyway I have enough games to wait out the shortage
I can't really understand people rushing out to buy a console at release, I'll wait a year, two years, etc... until I can walk into a store and buy one if I have to, I'm not paying scalper prices.
30% off any Nintendo product is still overpriced.
