I'm so proud of our cute little squids/octopi.

Some expected the first game to bomb.

I would say many =p but the idea was unique.

Another ridiculous notion that i'm tired of hearing everywhere is that every Nintendo game is sold at 60$ for eternity and each Sony game ends at garbage bin price in just a few months.

Funny you take those comments as a jab at Sony. I read them (and agree) as a jab at Nintendo. Nintendo isn't price friendly. I wish their games would be discounted more regularly.

Yeah same. If they lower their prices they could have sold more.

Pocky Lover Boy!

Not only does Nintendo sell their games for full price with very rare discounting, but from a development perspective I bet Splatoon 2 was far cheaper to make than GoW and/or Horizon. Nintendo has to be making some serious cash. The Switch lineup is less diverse in comparison to the ps4, so it makes sense Switch games have a high attach rate.

While Nintendo makes good money off their SW, it isn't as much as Sony makes off of PS Plus. Nintendo is slowly catching up with Nintendo Online.

Sony could keep their SW prices high, but then less people might be willing to pay for PS Plus.
