that isn't how pricing things work

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?

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?

because, again, they have to do whatever they can to make more money than they did last quarter. that is what a public company is.

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.

inflation is keeping them from profit

inflation does effect what i'm talking about

and again they have to make more money than last quarter. including with inflation.

it obviously sucks but i'm saying the logical arguments used here aren't correct.
