Nintendo why you make so many bad decisions.

Not selling proprietary hard drives so consumers can buy better ones for cheaper is a bad decision?

A non proprietary internal hard-drive that you can just push in a sled would cost less to the consumer than a non-proprietary external drive with casing, controller, vcabling and maybe external power. And it would be faster. And it would be neater.

Really, the decision to leave off a replaceable HD option has no advantage for the consumer. It was an upfront cost cutting decision.

What about consumers who feel uncomfortoble with tech? They wouldn't want to have to install anything into the hardware.
