Nintendo is the only console maker I can even hate

You need to really figure out your life if companies that don't care about you are upsetting you this much.

If Nintendo listened to these graphic whores they'd be out of business.

And I think time and time again it shows that most people don't care about graphics. Otherwise why is BR such a hit, with its terrible graphics. Why is candy crush so big, with its basic graphics.

That is 90bill to date.

Last year Sega's profit overall was down 67.8% on the previous year at $81mill in profit.

Nintendo earned Y178bill / $1.6bill in profit that same year.

But Sega can't compete with 10mill Mario odyssey and 9mill of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe adn 6mill Splatoons sold.

Just sad for me, those aren't games I want to play.

The Switch boosted Nintendos' profits by 500% from the previous year so that revenue will fall off.

But you can't say Nintendo don't research new products, they spend Y483+mill a year on researching new software and Y450mill on Mario products alone, then Y365mill on Pokemon R&D.

So expect Pokemon, Mario and other game products in equal measure in the coming years. Or possibly more Pokemon product, seeing as a former Pokemon CEO is now Nintendo CEO.

Nintendo are also sitting on £20mill. But probably in Japanese money instead, so what they have is purchasing power and longevity as tools to survive this most cut throat and competitive of businesses.

cool.

if nintendo was dying and not selling this might hurt....but..

Did the TC even say why he hates Nintendo in the original post? Weird.

I don't hate Nintendo, but I there's no company in existence that frustrates me more. I've had to take means to be able to play on my Switch what I'd shovel out money in the truckloads for if Nintendo made a virtual console available for the system.

The Nvidia Shield Portable is very similar HW to the Switch and sold for $199 during the Switch's launch.

I'm not buying that a Switch cost Nintendo $257. I'm thinking under $200 plus the cost of the dock. So $200 tops. That 6 inch 720P screen cost them a couple of Peanuts. There are $100 Tablets with larger 1080P screens.

@EG101: You know those joy-con controllers aren’t free right? It’s all there in my post. The Switch tablet is estimated at $167. Each joy-con costs $45 according to that articles sources estimate. $167 + $90 is $257. And I’ve checked multiple sources that confirm that Nintendo does actually sell the controllers at a loss. ($79.99 msrp)

Nintn Nintendo won the console wars up until a certain point... but rather than concede we invented like 400 extra innings... and even now it's somewhat close in os some ways.

I think all the American c fans should play by the a same rules and maybe if they admit defeat in the first 300-400 games or whatever it's been... the door can be open to talking about console improvements

in a serious way.

Every console has things that need to be critizied. Nintendo needs to amp up their online and drop their game prices down over time. Sony needs to allow cross-play, and Microsoft needs exclusives.
