Nintendo. Only ones able to force you to buy a useless piece of plastic that plays their games and their games only. And their game prices never drop.

Nintendo is ripe for criticism in a number of areas: DLC, season passes, locking content behind Amiibo, etc.

But I'm not sure you can make a convincing case that selling dedicated hardware is milking, especially when something like WiiU supports over 700 games, over 300 of which are multiplatform. That's not a plastic box that plays Nintendo games only.

Well it plays 400 Nintendo games and 300 multiplatform games worse than on any other platform.

Remember when Oculus made people buy a specific piece of hardware to play its games? Remember the outrage? At least they play all other games as well.

So are you saying that Nintendo is milking consumers because its hardware is less powerful than the competition? And that it's also guilty of milking because Nintendo hardware is required to play Nintendo software?

No one mentioned Capcom? Just look at Street Fighter V
