Go figure... the most draconian 'computer with a IP' ever released is selling like Hot Cakes! Speaks volumes about the current State of our hobby were sheeple Stand For Nothing and FALL For Everything.
Disgraceful cause just One can ruin it for all (but it's MILLIONS). Owning nothing and being happy is a understatement in comparison.

How many of them broke?
I do not understand Nintendo fans...
Rehashes of the same Nintendo games that have been done for years + ports of games that have been available on other consoles for years.
6 million sold...
I mean, I guess if you never had a machine capable of playing Cyberpunk 2077 or Street Fighter 6 before? 🤔 But one is 5 years old and the other is 2 years old?
Can you provide an example of such „rehash”?Nintendo is famously quite stubborn about not doing sequels in most of their established franchises unless they can do something truly new with them, even when fans are asking for more of the same. I get an impression that you don’t know what you’re talking about but want to be a part of hate-wagon because that’s so popular to do these days. You need to come better prepared for it because this just reads silly.
Mario Kart World - 16th Mario Kart
Mario Party Jamboree - 19th Mario Party
You’re just saying that those games had multiple entries, not that they are rehashes. Mario Kart is laughably bad example, Mario Party less so.
Beyond fanboys, I believe children is also a massive market for Nintendo.
You're not going to lecture your child for shit taste and chance are you are more likely to ignore the price issue (if you can afford) if you want to buy something for your kids.
I didn't say they are wrong. :) I said they have bad taste.
It's not wrong to have bad taste.
Especially when the flagship titles are over $100... I can't understand how anyone can pay that much for a single game
Not quite that bad in the US.
Mario Kart World - $80
Mario Party Jamboree - $80
Donkey Kong Bananza - $70
But seriously, are they significantly different from all the 15 other Mario Kart or 18 other Mario Party games?
DK Bananza is different enough; and the launch price of Switch 2 was almost exactly the same as Switch 1 when you account for inflation.
I think they are actually significantly different than the others to be fair, but also yeah those are slightly less excessive prices
