I still laugh at people today that pretends that Nintendo have ever been and still is a loveable company with only the purest desire to make good games for gamers...

They will criticize AAA budgets and DLC scheme but will love when Nintendo keep a game forever at 60 USD (to keep its value) and sell 20M units on a budget of a mid tier game. I would be really pissed seeing such large profit margins that doesn't ever get reinvested and only grow Nintendo bank account.

Lol what a waste of a post we have here. It doesn't matter the budget is mid-tier when the game is better than most other AAA games out there.  AAA doesn't always equal a better product, and stuff like the Order 1886 and Mass Effect Andromeda are proof of that. Besides, what Nintendo games would you argue are not AAA? Pokemon is one, but that is $40 anyways.

Waste of post? Nope. If you condone a company overcharging you.

Most Nintendo games have a budget that is minuscule compared to AAA, and that is what defines an AAA game, not your love of it or impression of it, but the budget. There are several holywood movies that were done on 1M or so and sold several dozen of millions, they aren't AAA even if they sold more than several ones.

Elaborate on this post ... 

You said competition is not always important and can often even be a hinderence. I asked if Switch is applicable to this, being the only forseeable handheld right now. 

Also, everyone thinks their mindset is older then they are .... lol. 

Natural monopoly isn't really bad. Because it only shows the market isn't big or interesting enough for more players to go for it. But if the monopolistic holder doesn't provide a good service then the barriers of entry lower down and someone may go over there and take it. But the same marketing having too much competition could mean all companies dying together.
