I think every console since the SNES has had a late period Players Choice/Greatest Hits thing, not just the unsuccessful ones. Except I don't remember if the WiiU did but who cares about the WiiU

Spellman posted:Yes, that's why I mentioned the money-vaccuum, which is set to on or off based on how successful Nintendo is. I'm the least confused person here no you said they always market themselves as the cheapest, then when someone said thats not true outside of hardware you mentioned one time they did it on software due to a failing system. is it always or is it sometimes, and if its sometimes depending on how well theyre doing how woudl that apply to what youre saying about the switch, a console thats selling well. you seem extremely confused.

Spellman posted:Nintendo markets themselves as giving you the most value for the cheapest price. They always front with this (in their mobile games, hardware offerings). Xbox and PS generally promote their hardware as premium everything, and they're unafraid to say it yeah if you inflate the actual price of everything you're talking about by $5 to $30 it sure does seem like a bad deal. i don't know why you're doing that though.

b_d posted:drat what changed in the last 2 weeks I was curious if that guy saying Switch sales were bad was reading the sales charts upside down or something but apparently he's just trolling, cool. Anyway my NSO doesn't renew until April and I'm not going to get the expansion pack until Banjo-Kazooie is on it. Doubling the price kind of sucks but you know what, having Banjo playable on a Nintendo system again is worth it. Paper Mario and Kirby 64 are just icing on that cake. Oh, and I want to extend a hearty thanks to the goon that recommended Monster Sanctuary now that it's on sale! I've played a couple of hours and this is extremely my poo poo, I love skill trees and it looks like you can do some really crazy things with monsters much later. Hell, I'm already finding fun things to do, like I got a Yowie and saw it has an ability that deals an extra hit on each attack based on its max HP, so I loaded it up with all the HP increasing equipment I'd found and it hits like a truck. My only real complaint is the map is kind of simplistic and you can't place any markers to keep track of things you'd want to come back to, but maybe that'll unlock later, or I'll just deal with it, because the monster battling is incredibly fun.

i don't even understand the argument. like Nintendo sounds cheap but it really isn't when you consider that if you buy a game console you also might want to buy games? as opposed to the other game consoles???

Switch had botw at launch and Odyssey six months later, that's insanely good for a new console (also mario kart 8 which was basically a new game since nobody had a wii u)

Games have always cost money, and the detached joycons are perfectly serviceable as a normal controller for most people. Who is this person that doesn't realize they need to buy games after buying the console? Grandmas in 1995 had an excuse, no adult in 2021 does.

Look. I know it was like 400 posts ago. But the idea that all books are accessible to all people is just so loving dumb i can't stop thinking about it. Give a philosophy student an engineering textbook, or vice versa, or give anybody in this thread a book in Russian or Chinese and you will have people that can't get past the first page, much less a given section. Just lol.

the 3ds was also seen as an upgrade of a console everyone had and could be gotten for cheaper while the switch was entirely new with a self explanatory gimmick everyone wanted like no poo poo the 3ds sold poorly with no actual launch title worth mentioning

ExcessBLarg! posted:Exactly what Nintendo hardware has been artificially scarce? I’ve always thought that Nintendo prefers to sellout of an item by producing too few than to overproduce and be stuck with products on shelves, more so than other companies. Maybe I’m mistaking extreme popularity of some of their products and failure to meet demand with artificial scarcity (Wii at the launch, NES/SNES Classic, the Switch). Then there’s the whole deal where they only sold Mario 3D All Stars for a few months before they pulled it, which is exactly the sort of thing Disney does with their vault. I just read Ask Iwata a few months ago, and in it Iwata talks about keeping products at a steady price because lowering the price later conditions people to wait for a better deal/punishes early adopters. Artificial scarcity is right in line with this thinking because it encourages people to buy the product now when they have a chance instead of waiting until later.
