you're saying Nintendo should start willingly burning through cash reserves so that they can keep prices at $60 until they run out of cash reserves and then they would raise it up?
They wouldn't be burning through any reserves. The whole point as if they could sell these games at a reasonable price and still be making a reasonable profit. Reasonable profits don't pay for a second or third vacation home or yacht though.
no, reasonable profits do not matter at all to a public company. every quarter they have to make more profit than the last quarter. it's why they all go to shit.
exactly, it's not a good thing. So why is everyone in here gargling Nintendo's balls like it's inevitable? Its a choice they are making, not something they have to do or force going bankrupt.
Besides the fact that consoles not games mind you, have historically been sold at a lost, doesn't Nintendo make almost pure profit from their games because thy're first party?
Why are you acting like a company that made more profit in their last generation then they did from the 1980's until 2016 combined would be in trouble for pricing their games a bit more reasonably?
I mean that's great and all but doesn't address what I was saying to the person I was replying to. They aren't doing this because they aren't making money, or because inflation is keeping them from profit. Keeping prices where they are also wouldn't result in them "burning through cash reserves" like you suggested either. Like, I know companies are greedy I don't exist under a rock, but to act like they've been keeping prices low out of the goodness of their heart for so long or that unless they do they won't make money or start to lose money as you suggested is just silly.
