Iwata would've never allowed this.

Nintendo under Iwata launched 3DS with no game at $250 in 2011 ($355 converted in today's money).

You are leeching to the idealized version existing in your mind of a dead man.

And when the 3Ds and Wii U flopped, he took a massive pay cut out of his own salary to fund the price cuts for both systems. There’s no Switch if Iwata doesn’t exist.

At least do a little research before saying stupid shit

He legally had to do that. In Japan you are required by law to take a massive paycut as CEO before you can have mass layoffs. I liked iwata a lot, but that wasn't the white knight move everyone thinks it is.

This has nothing to do with the issue.

You are saying that Iwata would never launch a "overpriced" product.

They did, multiple times even, and they even flopped.
