Yeah, yeah i know how a FY works, like i said, for a moment i forgot we were in 2020....just a lapsus!!

And yes, most of the profit comes from that, but they attract people to spend on subcriptions because first, those companies have spent a lot on money in a service where people want to spend their money, and you can only spent money that you earn. And besides, Nintendo is trying to do the same with their online sub, they just can't compete in that regard yet, but the moment they can, they will put online and gaming services at 60$ per year like the other two.

The moment Nintendo will need to spend a lot in these things to not get that far behind the competion will see Nintendo having less profits too. I still think that what Nintendo is offering right now is going to become really obsolete in a year or two. We'll see what Nintendo will need to do then...

That's the attitude that allows console manufacturers to get away with it. "They must be investing a lot because it costs a lot to the customer."

But the reality is that Nintendo will have higher profits if they decide to charge more eventually. It already was that way for Sony and Microsoft, so it makes no sense to assume that it will be the opposite for Nintendo.

Nobody is pointing a gun at you to spend the money on those subs, so is just your decision. If you don't like it, don't support it with your wallet, and before you say there's really no other option, there's always one. And people in the end, spend their money in these things. The same can be said about MTX's, a lot of people shit on these things but the reality is that most people are OK with it. In my case, i've never put any € in any MTX ever, so....you can perfectly ignore it if you want to.

And yes, like i said, Nintendo will do the same the moment they can.
