    Wow, that’s… quite dismissive of the maker of the best selling current console. The Nintendo Switch has sold more than twice the number as the PlayStation 5, which has sold about 3x more than the XBox Series consoles. If we look at total game sales, most of the top ones are Nintendo first-party or Nintendo exclusive titles. In fact, the only platform-exclusive titles on that list are Nintendo (except Gary’s mod on PC), and Nintendo has a disproportionate percentage of those most popular titles.

    Mario and Sonic at the Olympics

    Made by SEGA, not Nintendo.

      Thank you for validating my point. Appreciated.

      Of course the cheapest console which, furthermore, is geared for children, will sell gangbusters. You know what else sells gangbusters? Roblox, Fortnite, CS skins, et al. Also geared towards children and teenagers. It’s like there’s a pattern there correlating to underdeveloped brains…

      Don’t get me wrong, I loved Zelda. A link to the past is on my top 10. I am however quite cynical and can clearly see when a company is basically predatory towards the ignorance/susceptibility of its user base.
