Your avatar is of a mascot of a failed hardware manufacturer and the Switch has outsold the Wii at its $299 pricepoint after an abysmal outing for the WiiU. Yeah, it's safe to say you're not the best judge of these things. In your world, Nintendo would be $1.5 Billion poorer. Eh, at least they'd have your approval on their launch price, though. Seems like a fair consolation. |
The Genesis was the best selling 16-bit console in the US between 1991-1994 and Sonic was more popular than Mario during that time frame as well. Sega owned the US during the 16-bit era.
As for the the the $299.99 price point, there have only been two Nintendo consoles ever released at that price point. The NES, SNES, N64, Gamecube and Wii all launched lower than that. Only the Wii U launched at $299.99 and we all see how well that worked out.
So, Switch is the first console in their entire fucking history that has sold well at that price point and you're telling ME I don't know what I'm talking about? If there's a mirror, go find it, have a good look and say to yourself... "I don't know my history but I will learn and never make this mistake again."
Oh, and in order for Nintendo to end up 1.5 billion poorer they would have had to sell the same amount of consoles at $100.00 less but... (ready for it?)... at $100.00 less? They'd have sold far more than the 15 million that they have. This means more games sold, which means more money earned, which means... overall? Yup, MORE profits.
