    They’d never open up to the PC market. Their whole business is based on selling their propreitary hardware.

    Also, that would open the floodgates for modding. Nintendo hates modding.

      I still think the amount of money they’d generate from expanding their sales platforms would outweigh that philosophy, but I’d like to see the numbers as well

      Nintendo is not ready for the Mario cast naked mods. They most likely never will. I’m surprised there is even any Nintendo IP hentai floating around at all, really.
      Can’t say I blame them for that, really.

      But their switch is crap. Breaks constantly, is low power, the software is painful (IMO), games are expensive, and save game backup is a subscription.

        My experience:

        • never breaks
        • low power - irrelevant for the games we get for it
        • software is fine
        • save game backup - I don’t need it

        Here’s where I’m disappointed:

        • parental controls - need to use an app for most features, and they’re still disappointing; I just want what the Steam Deck has
        • games are expensive - I’d spend far more if games were cheaper; net result is I use my Steam Deck and PC far more, the Switch is just for exclusives

        But that’s about it. If they sold games for PC, they’d get more of my money, especially if I could swap between PC and Switch. I spend far more on games for my Steam Deck than for my Switch (I get like 2-3 Switch games, and like 20+ Steam games per year).

          That’s fair. It is popular for a reason, even if I don’t see it myself.
