    At least it would be TRYING to have more reach to consumers.

    Nintendo’s strategy of only appealing to kids and only sometimes caring about it’s actual, much larger fanbase isn’t really economically estrategic if you think about it.

      Seems to work reasonably well for them considering they have been in gaming much longer than Microsoft.

        Because they sell their products at overpriced numbers and their current console is built on 8 year old hardware that even it’s chip makers said it was “outdated” back in 2015.

          So like the vast majority of PCs still run on 1060 instead of whatever the latest shit is? Sounds pretty reasonable, especially if you want mobile gaming.

            I personally run on a GTX 750 Ti and a Core 2 Duo myself. 🧐

            But i’ll admit that i’m a maniac who uses a dedicated sound card 🎵 and a gold rated 550W power supply for max performance.

          Yeah, and it’s sold more units than the PS5 and all iterations of the current XBox combined, at a profit on every unit. Nobody’s out there holding a gun to people’s heads to buy the Switch, but they sell FAR more than either of their competitors in both hardware AND software. It sounds to me like you’re not actually angry at Nintendo, but angry at the majority of customers in the game industry that don’t share your disdain for less powerful hardware.

            I don’t have a dissdain for less powerful hardware, i have a disdain for mediocre hardware.

            For me, the peak on 3D graphics was achieved on PS3, X360 and the Wii U.

            Nintendo simply wanted easy cash and went on with (literally) inferior hardware to make the Switch.

            And my main problem with Nintendo is that they refuse to allow easy access to some of their best games.

            Why can’t they do a proper remake/remaster of Majora’s Mask for the current generation?

            Why do they refuse to release Mother 3 outside of Japan?

            When are we gonna get a new StarFox or F-Zero game?

            I think it is clear WHY i have a problem with Nintendo.
