Is there a more pro-consumer video game company than Nintendo?

>meanwhile we have $30 online with no voice chat
Actually 20 bucks and actually less than 5 dollar if you have a family play making it the cheapest of all 3 big names
>350 dollars for a 2010 tablet that can't even run 2005 games
Actually around 320 with a game and everything else is exgegerated because well modern games are running on Switch
>$60 wii u ports
Nobody bought a Wii U so who cares

thats funny because now f2p people get a few less orbs for completing the march quest shit in feh

>Years old games stay at full price
>Used market is impacted as a result

>sources of the wall street journal
yeah that sounds legit

Bullshit. You still have to spend hundreds of dollars on gacha unless you get lucky, even in nintendo games

$300 Switch's build quality is $260
>ports should cost less
why? The principle of value is that it's based on the highest point in the elastic demand curve, which is $60 for new shit that isnt gonna get a sequel (or at least a sequel that will directly replace it). The cost of games is determined by its perceived value against its own sequels and competitors and how much consumers will pay for it. Not age.
Why do people think that just because a game is old means its price ought to go down?

Probably. Yeah.

Even people I know owned a WiiU now own a Switch
Why? Because the WiiU was garbage

yeah, they make people spend less money on FEH with their retarded high prices for orbs that only whales purchase.

I know I would buy orbs if I got 20 orbs per dollar, but thanks to those retarded prices, I haven't spent a single cent on it

That's not how markets work retard. The price of things on the used market follows supply and demand. The reason first party Nintendo games tend to be more expensive is because they're so good that there are few people willing to sell them, thus constraining supply. Nintendo is able to keep prices at $60 for this reason too. The games continue to be in demand for years because they are better than what the competition offers. Meanwhile, Sony has to reduce the price of every game by 60% before it's even a year old because nobody wants to buy them anymore.

I wanna kiss fox on the cheeks.

As retarded as OP is.

Well Nintendo's strategy with mobile, as they literally stated before they even had any mobile games out, was to use the games more as advertising to get people interested in the handheld and console games.

So I imagine it'd be counter intuitive, if they want to get people to spend money on their retail games, to try and milk those same people into crippling debt.

>Nintendo Corporate talking points
The reason there are so few new/used second hand nintendo games out there is because nintendo has lost every console war since 1996. Thus, few consoles sold and few games for said consoles purchased.

The N64 alone had less than 300 games TOTAL
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Nintendo_64_games

Nintendo's core problem is greed and marketing to a young audience. Where does that lead? Ask Toys R Us.

If you vc with randos you are a cuck.

I mean there are physical DLC but not dozens per game, it's still pretty scummy though.

>Aquamans his favourite
Good taste right there, where's my not shit Aquaman game? At this point I have been waiting so long I would even accept a film tie in.

And yet Nintendo games are usually the best selling games of every generation. Do you have a better explanation as to why supply is so constrained on the used market when there are many times more copies in the world than the best selling Playstation games?

>10 good game vs 100 mediocre/shit ones

I'll take the 10 thanks.

NOOO WHY DOESN'T NINTENDO WANT MY MONEY?? THAT'S IT, I'M GONNA GO BUY THREE SWITCHES, FUCK EM.

Weeb pandering games don't count because the consumer base that actually spend money on gambling for JPGs of girls are subhuman

Toys R Us got leveraged to cover the debts of other companies in an umbrella, thats not their fault even if they did have some rough years

nintendo considers mobiles the advertisements for their real games, it would make little sense to invest in mobile games that directly compete with your other business unless they want to go full mobile

Paid mods was zenimax and you know it, you should be blaming them for lootboxs.

Toys r us died from having their parent company put them in debt and buying too many force unleashed toys that nobody wanted to buy.

Why are nintendont fanboys the most delusional group of people on earth, making scientologists look completely sane and rational?

Absolute horseshit. FEH has been getting worse and was manipulative horseshit from the start. Same with DL

Feh probably accounts for like 90% of Nintendo's mobile income.

it's called shitposting. nobody gives a fuck about sony or nintendo

The west has no morality because they have become dysgenic and covetous. Like a horde of ugly, stupid and desperate orcs.

Japan is an ethnostate that behaves morally toward other people. The driving force behind this morality is pity.

Ethnic purity allows for acts of altruism. Japan acts kindly not because they have to, not because it's a moral imperative... but because their superiority affords them the opportunity to be genuinely charitable.

>best selling every generation
garbage like GTAV has sold more than every single one of those combined

>if I call someone delusional I win the argument by default!

>Behaves morally
>Courts are a fucking joke and no effort is ever made to fix it
Hmmmmm.

You don't need courts if everybody behaves morally. Society will police itself.

>Ethnostate yards this delusional
You know the Israel you hate so much is also an ethnostate.

>Thinking Nintendo will sell their games cheap to devalue the premium quality of their IPs

You people really don't know how Nintendo or companies work.

Israel isn't the problem. America's allegiance to it is though.

That a stupid theory filled with logic flaws.

If ethnic purity leads to superiority and that leads to the opportunity to be genuinely charitable, why don't they exempt their own superior race from this charity as they wouldn't need it, due to their superiority?

It's just a positive company image, lack of greed and a little bit japanese honor.

you're right, nobody is actually that brainwashed, anyone who defends nintendo as pro-consumer is just being paid to regurgitate nintendo talking points.

No company is pro consumer you goy, theyre pro money.

Yeah, pretty much all of them.

This is the company that prices its digital releases at the same price or higher to (get this) protect retailers. That's basically the collector's edition of anticonsumerism.

This was already debunked

Yikes, man. You read too deep into a simple post.
Profits are obviously not inherently bad, but when profits are the one single objective of a multi million media company it leads to shit like season passes, lootboxes/gacha, on disc DLC and to the release of unfinished games.
Cool down, mate. You sound like I said capitalism is the devil or something.

You forget year old games that still sell for $60 while modern games are dropping to $40 after three or four months.

Hmm...

Fuck off, Arlo.

I don't wanna be cynical because I still think nintendo is one of the less jewish AAA devs out there but this seems like some PR stunt. I mean they're already making way more cash with paid online. they could easily take a small hit on mobile games to make it seem like they're playing nice. still, the end result is good for the consumer so good job nintendo. keep it up and maybe i'll stop losing faith in you.

maybe

Between the console warriors and the /pol/ shitters, why did I think this thread could be different.

You say it like it's good that they made you drop your console after two years.

It would hace been nice to discuss if there is a way to make profitable mobile games without screwing the public. But no, let's bitch about the Jews and dick measuring contests.

>You say it like it's good that they made you drop your console after two years.
You mean 5 years.

Locking normal dlc behind Happy Meal toys is the one of the most anti-consumer things I've seen in recent years.

bless them. I wish lawmakers will eventually get with the times and clamp the fuck down on such predatory practices by other companies.

You're Not (You), I am.

>Pro-consumer
>Doesn't release Dragalia Lost in Europe actively blocking consumers
Yeah nah

I agree. Nintendo relies on their good PR to be able to sell games at full price even after years of being released, so they can't afford to devalue themselves like the competition, especially considering how prideful they already are

>paid online with no online improvements, low tick rate servers, no onlone systems in place
>charge out the ass for NES games
>shitbhardware for premium prices aka the Apple model
>No games
>Shit budget allocation to development, still producing ugly games that are not ambitious
>overpriced controllers and separate accessories required, such as low HD space on their recent consoles
>shit discounts and pricing model

Wtf is pro consumer about them? Are Nintendo fans autistic?

i mean to be fair, at least the 75$ guarantees the unit you want. some people spend thousands and don't get what they're looking for.

>Paid Mods
"paid mods" was literally just a merger of steam workshop and steam itself.
developers decide if they want mods to be sellable, modders decide if they want to sell their work, consumers decide if they want to buy.
it was a fine system if you spent more than 30 seconds thinking about it.

>not only their phone and f2p games are extremely accomodating to non paying users

Nintendo doesn't handle neither Intelligent Systems nor Pokémon so they're the only ones unaffected by Ninty's decisions. I even remember Fire Emblem awakening having dlc before Mario or Zelda, and when the latter had they were like"We're finally doing paid dlc let's hope feel they're paying for something" valuable" despite FE having already done that.

They're still mad for not getting enough money tho. Cygames is literally blaming Nintendo for not being able to monetize the hell out of Dragalia Lost

Technically, no. But they're still not amazing at it. It's just not hard to be as anti-consumer as Sony or MS.
