Labo is a huge ripoff and a waste of a great concept (so far)

You can bet some defended the price point, and others that criticized it would defend it if Nintendo had done, as some have defended X1X.

There was no online profits on PS2, third parties doesn't make money from PS+ and XBL and still we had price cuts on the SW after like 6-12 months of release. And the point is when all competitors do discount earlier and we know that most of them have their SW costing more to make and selling lower, then Nintendo is getting the higher profit margins that aren't even reinvested, so myself as customer fell being ripped-off.

Not sure why they would. I complain because I purchase their products but usually way later because of their price practices.

Again, if the market value for Nintendo 1st party titles is higher, consumers dictate that not Nintendo. If people felt as a whole they were too expensive, they wouldn't buy it. Cant ask Nintendo to cut into their profit because of a relatively small percentage of disgruntled consumers. 

And you can't ask me to not call it greedy.

You went from saying "a lot of Nintendo fans" to just some.  So, now it sounds like you are talking about a "vocal minority".  Every fanbase has extremists.

Wouldn't say it is a vocal minority, at least not when looking at VGC. I have had this discussion about it on a thread just this week, won't do it again.
