Comment on Nintendo Delays Switch 2 Pre-Orders In The US Amidst New Trump Tariffs
sic_semper_tyrannis@lemmy.today 5 weeks agoWe’ll have to see if the general consumer is willing to pay full price. It seems likely as people generally just go along with things. If so then Nintendo will definitely keep prices high

I can tell you the general consumers are children’s parents and die-hard fans. It’s gonna sell well and end up the new normal. Prices don’t even drop on Nintendo exclusives you have to wait for weird Costco or whatever store deals.
All while they pay for subscriptions too. It’s wild. Not to be so pessimistic but I see piracy getting getting more and more regulated.

My brother-in-law got a Switch for his kid. They tried to play the “free” classic emulated games but then it stopped him and said he had to create some online account which costs money. That’s some scummy tactics to get you to pay a subscription for a “free” game
