Their new premium price point is definitely going to put a dent in their family sales, though. That’s uncharted territory for them.

The fact that the Nintendos are locked down, family friendly and with a reputation of good production quality (similar to Disney), are also important points for non-nerdy parents and casual gamers who don’t want to navigate the ocean of PC gaming and its risks.

Meh, it amortizes over time. Switch 1 lasted 10 years
Switch 2 will probably be the same, buy the games now, play for 10 years sounds like a deal to the lowest common denominator in gaming

It lasted 8 years and sold as much as it did because it’s considerably cheaper than the competition, especially the Switch Lite at $200. We’ll see if the inevitable Switch 2 Lite moves as many units at $350.

As you can see, I said “reputation”. I hate how little they innovate while still selling at premium, but similar to Disney, it is enough for the casual mass.

Those news of Wiimotes destroying TVs and not the other way around worked really well.
