Just remember these companies made BILLIONS of dollars selling games at 60$, this isnt about keeping the lights on or having enough money to make the next game. This is about siphoning as much money from the consumer as possible
Yeah i am sure they are getting more than by every year. All of their games were 60 bucks and people still buy them like doughnuts + with their internet subscription fees and selling consoles i don't think Nintendo is gonna start begging at any pont.
All the shit about employees needing pay and inflation and tariffs doing stuff its all the most braindead excuse i can hear.
They could have been doing 60 bucks for like 10 more years without any issue but i guess can't expect any company to be humble.
They have infact seen record growth in the last 5 years so they absolutely could get away with charging 60$ and still see massive profits. Inflation is just an excuse companies use to act like prices are totally out of their hands, like they (not Nintendo specifically) arent the driving force for inflation
With a perspective like that, it's understandable why people are upset at companies like Nintendo for raising prices. But inflation is, in fact, out of their hands. They could lower the price if they wanted to, but this is just them keeping the price relatively stable.
I guess you all don't understand what it means to be a public company? They don't care about making money - the only thing that matters is making more money than they did last quarter, to increase the price of their stock. Every quarter. It's literally the only goal of public companies.
It's why they're a cancer on society. But it is how a company like Nintendo works.
