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

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.

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.

Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Mario Party, etc etc etc
