Leg, I read that interview too, I go back to I think Nintendo executed 10% of the idea that would have been wildly successful 5 years ago
that was the one use for trackball mice as a kid
you could use them on weird surfaces or your leg/arm
Switch OLED has a better screen as well
that's the big one
kids just don't care that much about Nintendo in general
outside of pokemon sorta
Switch 2 being a "personal" console again also probably hurts them
I still think the endgame for Nintendo is a cloud console
play anywhere, subscription fee
release a Switch lite handheld or w/e to still have that product line
but everything is cloud streaming on the backend
people playing on their phones, on PCs, on their smart TVs, etc.
same
I also just know a lot of kids who got switches, and then sorta stopped caring about dedicated "games machines" in general
I think kid-autism is easily satisfied in a lot of different ways
and if they're not put on the game path, they'll just end up doing something else
especially now
TV was the biggest loser

As we look at Nintendo Switch 2 and you think about the feature sets that I talked about ... we believe that the pricing is appropriate for the value of the machine and the gameplay experience overall. We recognize there are some people that may not be able to afford the Nintendo Switch 2 price point. That's why we wanted to make the other Switch platforms available, so people still have an opportunity to come into our gaming universe, be a part of these characters in these worlds, and see value, if you will, in whatever rung of the platform they come in.

if the switch 2 really fails, Doug Bowser will be quoted a lot

Replying to legorhin #jazardly tariffs paused!
Literally dumbest thing Trump could have done
Zero benefit to pausing them, and undermines the strong position we were in
Idk spooky, I think if he stops and starts them a few more times, america will be great again

My investment strategy currently is banking on Trump saying something stupid again tonight or tomorrow so I hope so
