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.
Comment on Nintendo touts high employee retention rate after loss of Microsoft jobs rocks Xbox Game Studios
masterspace@lemmy.ca 22 hours agoUsing 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.
Counterpoint: shut the fuck up, you understand my point just as well as if I had looked up the right numbers and adjusted them for inflation.
Nitpicking is not the same thing as conversing. Grow the fuck up.

No, it’s just a good way to filter out people who want to engage in pedantry and people who actually want to discuss the issue at hand.

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 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.

No, Nintendo historically produces under powered consoles and overcharges for them so they can make a profit on every console from day 1. That is not what the other console makers do.
