oh don't we aII wish Imao
the onIy reason peopIe buy nintendo consoIes is because of nintendo's excIusives

the second they went third-party their saIes wouId just die

for consoIes*

[gunslingerkaras 0]

Yeah, and then we'd be stuck with nothing but Latest Shooter Bang-Bang and Annual Stabbity-Stab Cloak Man to choose from on one of two consoles.

[Daz_4th 7]

what

l need to know what annuaI stabbity-stab cIoak man is based on

[HellboundOrc 2]

I think y’all underestimate the power of the casual family consumer. The Wii and Switch are as big as they are because they managed to appeal to people who’d normally never have a gaming console in their house.

[gunslingerkaras 0]

Assassin's Creed.

This, exactly.

Parents like having a family-friendly option to choose from, and the vast majority of Nintendo's console releases are full of that.

Take away the Nintendo console, and your options are now much more limited.

Then you get more kids screaming obscenities in COD lobbies.

[Daz_4th 7]

fairrr enough

[inari_sune 0]

True

Everyone gets a console for exlcusives or they can prefer what they like better than the other.

[gunslingerkaras 0]

It's the same reason why people bought PS4s for Bloodborne and PS5s for DeSR.

Exclusives sell consoles.

[inari_sune 0]

Ye

[gunslingerkaras 0]

That's especially so for child-friendly content.

[inari_sune 0]

If you don't have those, then what's the point in what console is better than the other in terms of gameplay?

[HellboundOrc 2]

Nintendo after designing a system with a controller so simple that even grandma picks one up to play Mario Kart with the grandkids

[gunslingerkaras 0]

Exactly.

Granny just picks up the other controller and unleashes her inner Doomslayer on the young'uns via Mario Kart.

Or Mario Party.

[Daz_4th 7]

either/or

[gunslingerkaras 0]

And then Nintendo can say, "See? Our games are suitable for all ages!"

[HellboundOrc 2]

They’re also just a household name at this point. Some older folks still refer to all gaming hardware as “a nintendo”

[gunslingerkaras 0]

Another good point.

[-Kye- 10]

They would still have that tho, just mario on other platforms

Nothing would really change for them

[gunslingerkaras 0]

Switch is also a cheaper option for families.

As are other Nintendo consoles.

[Daz_4th 7]

pIease buy breath of the wiId for $60

[Daz_4th 7]

pIease

thanks

[inari_sune 0]

Their games aren't cheap tho.

> Never dropping the price.

[Daz_4th 7]

=)

[Sam N 10]

If price is that much a concern, buy used
