I don't mean to sound harsh on this one, but as a person who is considering getting a Switch pro (which hasn't been announced) and someone who is doubting buying a Switch pro based on joy con drift which will almost certainly be a non issue by the time that hardware revision comes out.... you are not exactly Nintendos key demographic, it will be around 4 years of the systems life before you make a move towards buying it, in that time Breath of the Wild has remained in and around the top 30 charts for the Switch for 1,460 days or so for the majority of the time it has been $60 (there was a sale where all major Nintendo games were $40 for a few weeks.) but I'm just saying Nintendo do pretty damn well with their business model of making software which holds its value for a long period of time by creating games which consumers are happy to pay 60 bucks for when they get the system because they know there's good times to be had with them. Heck I've played botw for nearly 500 hours now, buying the game and dlc for 80 in total that steal means per euro spent on the title I've gotten around 6 hours of play, there are some AAA titles I've bought for the same cost and played for less than 6 hours total.

But aye, as someone who isn't buying Nintendo games / systems your feelings on how they should price their hardware/software really isn't a key concern to them I would have to imagine.

True, I'm most likely not within Nintendo's key demographic. But that does not mean I am not entitled to an opinion or to disagree with their pricing, right?

Also what is it that you call their key demographic type of person? Someone who is ready to pay any price, no questions asked? Cause then I am most definitely not within their key demographic.

And yes I might get a Switch Pro should it ever release and be an actual improvement over the current model. Or I may not purchase it, all is possible at this point.

Oh and you got 500 hours out of BOTW? Impressive, I guess that makes every hour you spent on that game, rather cheap in price. Can't argue with that, but there's this game called EDF 4.1 on which I have spent close to 700 hours  (and still plan to spend some time on it cause there are some trophies that I believe I still can unlock) and I got that game in a sale for 10 euros so I won't even bother to do the math, few games can beat the price I paid per hour on that game if any.

You know you guys strike me as owning a Switch not because of the games but because of the price. It feels to me like you like those games specifically because they are expensive and remain expensive. I almost feel like should those games come down in price, that you wouldn't be interested in them anymore. And to be clear I'm not saying it's exactly what you are thinking, I'm just saying it's the impression you guys are giving me, based on your arguments in defense of those games prices over your personal financial interests.
