Predicts the worst decade for Sony starting 2022
***None of these will happen, it's going to take for Nintendo's stock to drop for them to get the message****
There is a difference between being a fan and being a fanboy. For example:
Fan example: I like Nintendo games and believe they are some of the most talented developers in the business. With that said, I will call them out on their bullshit like charging for a demo game, raising prices to crazy amounts, putting a fucking Button on the controller behind a pay wall "C" button, confusion around the whole Key game vs physical copy, and other anti consumers.
Fanboy Example: They believe that Nintendo was right for raising the price and it's justified. Nintendo only did these things to make it a better experience for you. They defend almost every action of Nintendo and often times will blame it on Imaginary shit like "tariffs" but ignoring the price was set before the fucking Tariffs. They blame all the backlash on everything but Nintendo.
Fanboys are going to announce this thing as a massive success because it "sells out for launch" but it reality it's not that big of a deal. Hardcore Nintendo Fans are like Disney fans and are fanatical. They will buy almost anything Nintendo. I guarantee you if Miyamoto took a giant shit in a box and put it up for Auction, Nintendo hardcore fans would be losing their fucking minds trying to get a whiff. There will be enough Fans and Scalpers to keep this thing sold out for the near future but I question the long game. After the Hardcore fans have their units and the Scalpers can no longer take advantage of idiots, will this thing remain a success 2 or 3 years down the road. The WiiU proved NIntendo is not too big to fail and just wonder if the Casual fan is willing to pay these kinds of prices. My issue is not with the Hardware but the Software, accessories, and other ways they nickled and dimed the consumer.
How can they fix things to please at least the Mob on the internet and maybe put a better light on things:
1. Unit Price is fine but accessories are not. I think for the tech it's worth it. Compare this to handhled pc's that cost around $1000 and the Switch 2 is a better value. They are find with that but the accessories are insane. $90 for a pair of Joysons without Hall effect sticks? $120 for a dock that is just a plastic housing with a fan built in and an hdmi port, SD express card prices, etc.
2. Vow that all of Nintendo made games will be on a physical cartridge and not a key. Scummy companies like EA and Ubisoft will no doubt use the whole "key" system but if Nintendo came out and said all of their games would be a Physical cartridge, that would help things.
3. Free Switch 2 upgrades with a Nintendo Membership. Even if they had to raise the price of the Membership $20 or whatever. If I own the Switch 1 copy of the game and pay for the Nintendo premium service, I get the free upgrade patch.
4. Give a clear explanation on why games like Mario Kart are $80 digital. What is the justification? The real answer is probably they saw how many copies sold and know they can move enough units to justify it. Their "Various Pricing structure" shit isn't enough for most of us.
5. Roll back the software prices! If they continue on this path and Sony/Microsoft are offering better experiences of games for $70 and they are $80+ on the Switch is a bad look. People will notice
6. Embrace the digital crowd and go all in on a switch box. I felt a major missed opportunity that Nintendo had for the Switch is make a Cheaper TV only unit. Some of Us play almost always on the TV anyway. Make a set top box version of Switch 2 only with no screen just a box. All games are digital and they could even sell you cloud storage. Gen Z had yet to experience their digital library vanishing so they do not see how harmful an all digital future can be. There is enough consumers who are willing to go all in on digital only.
