Honestly, I think Nintendo's arrogance atm is up there with 2006 Sony.

What can I say, mate. I could only take so much of this disheartening. In nearly 2 decades, since the day I picked up my first gameboy color, this is the first time I legitimately feel embarrassed to be a Nintendo fan. I don't hate them, oh no, nor do I hate their games. I hate their outdated management that seem to think that people will shell out 400$ to play Arms and 12Switch.

As much as I liked the Wii, it's ultimately what's ruining Nintendo today. The management is too arrogant. They want Wii/DS success levels when it's next to impossible after the rise of smartphones. You'd think the losses they had in the 8th gen would've been enough to snap them out of it, but I guess not.

I still stand by what I said before: The day Ninty possibly quits game development, I stop playing games. Maybe the occasional retro stuff, or something I develop, but that's it.

I wasn't really impressed with Arms and 1,2 Switch either, but it was the other games they showed which really won me over. Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, Xenoblade 2, Fire Emblem Warriors and the 3rd party games got me excited for the system. There are some serious issues with the Switch, like the launch price and paid online, but not something that only Nintendo is doing, with it now being a 'standard' due to XBL and PSN+. I don't think it is as bad as you make it out to be, and thinking on it now, I don't think it's as bad as people are making it to be. It's just the result of another terrible practice becoming a norm, and... slightly more expensive pricings.

The worse part is that nintendo doesn't have the competitive position to do so unlike Sony.  Sony was arrogant due to ps2 success.  Don't understand nintendo reason to be like this.

They were less out of touch with their audience than most people in this thread were...

Oh, we are in the age of excellent Necrobumps, I see.

This thread could be resumed into two points:

1-2-Switch exists therefore the console is horrible.
300 dollars is evil,eeeeeevil.

Seeing how you were very dissapointed with Ninty around this time last year, I wonder if you still feel that way? Or have you come around on the Switch and it's library within the last year?

(Not trying to throw salt btw., I'm legitimately interested if and how your opinion has changed :))

Oh, this thread! I remember stating in a post that Nintendo priced the Switch at 300$ because their market data was telling them the console would be in high demand and they wanted to avoid a Wii-like situation with the console being sold out for months and priced too low to maximise profits. I was booed off the stage lol! It was obvious the Switch would be a success from the start, every reliable indicator pointed to it: The resources were there, the strategy was there, it was a perfect design for an integrated hardware/software company, it adhered to the prerequisites stated by economist like Clayton Christensen, it targeted a broader audience... but when I cited books or people who know about this stuff, people just called me arrogant (even though I was just citing clever people). After that January presentation, everything was doom and gloom. 

Happy  1st birthday !
