Forums - Gaming Discussion - Screw Nintendo for their greed! No ac adapter?! Also



Around the Network

Also what?

Also, it's not as if Nintendo is alone in this. Last gen both MS and Sony touted their next gen HD systems and included cheap shitty cables that weren't even HD. Making you go out and buy them. And they both charge for online so yeah. We're in an industry that thrives on greed.

These things run like $5 online.



It's a smart move that saves almost everyone money.

The AC cable is cheap and almost your entire audience has the damn thing. Nintendo saves money on shipping, shelf space, production, and packaging. They also get to offer the device at a slightly lower price.

Fans get a lower price, people who have one don't need to pay, and the excess amount of AC adapters already on shelf means it's cheaper for all parties involved for the consumer to just pick up one that's already stocked in stores.
