    The people here really don’t understand Nintendo. They want the console to be as cheap as possible to get it to the most hands as possible and then make the real money on the games. Mom and dad see the price tag isn’t too bad and pull the trigger. Everything has a cost, including an OLED screen Vs LCD (presumably IPS).

      Maybe but not all that much. Among all consoles, Nintendo Switch is the only one whose hardware is profitable.

        Really? Virtually all consoles aren’t, I expected the switch wasn’t. The Wii was, which really boosted their profits.

          Yeah, it’s one of the reasons they stick to weaker hardware.
