Just get it, play botw and sell it on TP or olx. We felt the same way about Xbox before Nintendo as a Company puts too much weight though, showoffs. I hate Companies that exploit customer loyalty. Edit: I have never understood why Companies release subpar cr@p ports of awesome AAA games on switch though. Are Nintendo fanboy's masochists?

I'm speaking from experience though. Played botw. I was like wow, so cool. Mario Odyssey was meh. Like ok it's wonderfully made but I don't wanna play a platformer and it's not thaaat great. Then there was nothing much that grabbed me and it was just a portable indie machine. It's great for some co op fun but not much else with its endless catalogue of arcade games. Like, dude, these games still have rudimentary grunts as the primary method of communication. All games I played just felt like extremely polished retro games. I wouldn't even have it right now if my cousins and sister didn't play on it regularly. People really talk about the diversity of Ninty games but 90% of it is just party games of different kinds. I'm not even an oldie so these games have no nostalgia value for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radicaldude Posted June 28, 2021 Report Share Posted June 28, 2021 Quoting ex Nintendo ceo here. GFX alone doesn't make a game interesting. Gameplay does. Nintendo appeals to kids and adults alike. That reflects in its sales figures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All those sales were to boomers so they could feel young again or actual kids or suckers like me who got duped by said boomers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah its probably lower. It still sold a fkton last year during pandemic, to the point that grey market stock was rarely ever sitting on the shelf.

Lifetime sales of switch and Xbox 360 are 84.5 and 84 million respectively. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_game_consoles Please don't make up facts.

Not happening unless region locked consoles return I think they should bring them back atleast pricing would be more inline with the economies Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The marginal cost for manufacturing a game is very low. The pricing is a factor of profit maximisation. So the only factor that can drop it is higher profit expectation at lower prices.

Inflation in our country(or others) is not related to cost of production of the game Games were $60 in 2005 too but sold here for like 2k range even when subsidisation removed it was like 3-3.5k max It’s the increased conversation rate of $$ that has steeply increased pricing for us in particular Edited June 28, 2021 by AnK 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
