This conversation is so stupid since switch games are $60 and they are making a profit right now. Whether it's because of volume or saving in distribution.... It's working, they are making money right now.
They. Are. Making. A. Profit. Breath of the wild was wildly more sophisticated than skyward sword. Did they lose money there? Do you know for a fact that World didn't reuse some of MK8D's code? You don't, neither do I, would be weird if they didn't... But we don't know. All we know is the switch, right now, with sophisticated games at $60, is making an insane profit. That's it. Sure the switch 2 console can be more expensive but justifying $80 games when they're making a profit is absurd. Even more so since they're making a profit while developing it. Or do you think they will pay their devs after the game sells?
Last I checked Nintendo didn't go broke from developing this game, already developed, sustained from the sales of other games that cost $60. This makes no sense whatsoever
Just because they are making profit (Which you in reality dont know that 100%) Doesnt mean it is a huge profit, and it also still doesnt change, that EVENTUALLY, that development cost is going to catch up. It wasnt going to stay that way forever
This is also ignoring the fact that these switch 2 games probably took a higher development cost, then what switch 1 games cost. We are talking about a whole new console, that has way better performance.
It would be like comparing Xbox 360 game costs, to current gen Xbox game costs.
I do know... We do know. They release financial statements. If it were to catch up it wouldn't be after release... That's stupid. Again, they developed it while not selling it at $80 and didn't go in the red, we know they are making a profit right now while developing...
This is either stupid or clearly not in good faith, good day.
