    End Nintendos fake scarcity selling tactics.

      Forget fake scarcity, the REAL scarcity of pre-acquisition Nintendo games and consoles would skyrocket. Microsoft is only consumer-friendly now because they’re still in the phase of acquiring a critical mass of content and users. Once they have both, and everything is on Game Pass, they’ll jack up the price as high as they want knowing you’d lose access to all your games if you don’t pay.

        Yup, there’s a reason I don’t consider getting GamePass or any other subscription service.

      Nintendo has an incredible brand for easy child friendly and safe gaming experiences. It‘a products are about as retail friendly as you can possibly get. It’s trustworthy. You just buy them off the shelf and slot the cartridges into the unit.

      Microsoft is famous for anti-consumer practices, poor UI design, expensive licensing, abandoning products like their Phone, Zune.
