How is that shortsightedness?

Ignoring the long-term benefits to their customers in favor of short-term financial benefits to themselves. I bet they'd have profited more on Virtual Console in the long run if they had it on Switch to begin with, instead of a substandard subscription system.

You continue to amaze me.  You have it literally backwards.

VC=short term (one time sale)

Subscription=long term (continous revenue)

Take an economics class, seriously 

26,000,000 members for Nintendo online.

$20 a year is $520,000,000 a year in CONTINUED revenue....  and growing

Again I loathe subscriptions, but it is a highly profitable long term flow of cash.  Sony makes a killing from PSN.  I get why they do it.
