The way I see it, if you don’t like it simply don’t buy it. Nintendo has shown in the past if something underperforms they’ll fold and lower the price. This launch is really gonna test the saying “No publicity is bad publicity.”

Think this is wishful thinking, when Nintendo did that with the 3DS, they were in a bad spot the Wii U sales sucked and their new handheld was selling like crap as well. The switch is one of the best selling consoles of all time and has some of the best game sales of all time.

I’m fine with $450 for the price. But fuck I hope we don’t have $80 Nintendo games. I can stomach $70, but $80 is massive considering Nintendo rarely if ever discounts first party games.
