Given the outcry over the price, I think they have no choice but to eat the loss. They can't drop the price, but they can't raise it either. They'll just have to hope that they can bring down manufacturing costs over time.
We're talking about the console.
…since when were key accessories irrelevant to the discussion of selling hardware? They’re jacking up the price of everything else around it for now. Unless you think everybody just buys the console, uses the joycons that come with it, and never spend another dollar outside of games?
Do you really not understand what I was driving at? Or are you just doing that annoying Internet argument thing?
I think that you're doing that annoying internet argument thing, because you're not actually replying to what I said here.
I did reply to what you said. What are you talking about? How is my comment anything less than a direct response to your comment?
I said that they can't drop the price of the console and they can't raise the price of the console either. What does this have to do with what I said?
You can’t be this dense. I’m done.
It really just seems to me like you want to argue, but I'm not sure why you chose me to argue with. All I said was that they can't raise or drop the price of the console, and I dunno why that's the comment that set you off.
