Consumers decide. I couldn't care less if Nintendo goes bankrupt because no one wants to buy their consoles anymore. That's called business. There are plenty of great game developers. Even better, if Nintendo actually goes bankrupt, all of their talented developers will be free to make games on way better hardware platforms. The wealth of a company is no consumer's concern, especially in an age of oversaturation of entertainment options. |
Keep telling yourself that. Meanwhile the Switch sells out within hours of being re-stocked. And, keep telling yourself that the consumer doesn't want to have a choice of hardware, or that somehow freedom of choice is bad for consumers. Whatever helps you to sleep at night I guess, but in the real world, choice and competition have always been to the benefit of the consumer. You, or the single universal console manufacturer that exists in your communist inspired fantasy land don't get to decide what the rest of the gaming population games on.
