Workers should feel more secure in their Nintendo jobs than with positions at Xbox Game Studios. Statistics confirm that Nintendo's employee turnover rate is well below industry averages. Analysts believe that the company's rigid control over the development of Switch 2 games leads to the stability.

        I’m pretty sure the Switch 1 is older than 4 years (and was cheaper than $500). And their games are actually quite good.

        So Nintendo might be a fuckwad company, but your comment is still full of bullshit.

            Using years and hundreds of dollars is not min/maxing precision. That’s a stupid excuse for something you should own up because your made up numbers detract from your point. If the numbers don’t matter then this shouldn’t make your argument look ridiculous.

            Nintendo, the company that makes gamers pay them $5000 for a new console every year, and then $800 for a new skin of the exact same game every month, and calls it innovations and consumer friendliness.

            You can’t just make up numbers and expect to have reasonable argument. By making up numbers you’re just opening yourself up to criticism (which it seems you can’t take) even if the actual point you’re making is right.

                I understood your point because we’re on the same side and I took a generous interpretation of what you said. Now that I’ve taken a really critical look I have no fucking idea what you were trying to say because the numbers make no sense.

                If I correct your 500 and 4 years, your statement becomes “Nintendo sold their consoles at industry pricie for the average console lifecycle”. Oh the horror, Nintendo does what every other console seller does. And the part about selling a reskinned game at full price every 2 years? If I’m being generous I’d say you’re talking about BOTW and TOTK. But that’s not 2 years and it’s not a reskin and your argument implies multiple games but I can barely come up with one.

                Your entire comment could’ve been only the second part and it would’ve been just as informative as what you actually wrote. That’s how worthless your fucked up numbers have made the point.

                You’re also not having a random conversation on the street, this information is just a quick search away. By making up numbers and creating a bigger issue when existing issues are already strong enough of an argument, you hurt your own credibility and attacking people for pointing that out is even worse.

                Your numbers are so far off as to be meaningless. If the real numbers are half that, and you compare to their competitors, then it’s an entirely different story. The numbers you provide are completely integral to your argument, and your numbers being so wrong means you’re just complaining about nothing.

        i HATE nintendo, they literally FORCE GAMERS to pay $500,000,000,000,000 dollars for a NEW CONSOLE every month, and then they have the audacity to RELEASE VIDEOGAMES which cost $100,00,000,000 ultra dollars without any care for innovation. just last week they released donkey kong bananza which is a clear RESKIN of far cry 4

        nintendon’t *wheeze* is a stupid ass company, GAMERS are just GASLIGHT because they enjoy things

        note

        … Or look up the lifecyle of most of their products. The support is a whole lot longer than four years.

        They have no micro transactions and the games are finished when released. Yes, they have their bad side too. So does Sony and Microsoft. There are no good guys in business. Just less bad.

        But the beauty is, vote with your wallet. If you don’t like it, don’t buy it
