Nintendo has always only reported Sell-through numbers, as does Sony when they report any. Microsoft reports sold to retailer numbers.

It’s a Zelda, the price will never drop.

And the people who got the DLC for free?

America has had a small resurgence in the arcade scene to some degree. There’s at least 4 that I know of in the greater Seattle area, not counting anything in a theater or GameWorks/Dave & Busters/Chuckee Cheese.

Again, even more cost to them. Now they have to hire someone to go through this stuff, somehow verify that you bought the game new, not used, because f’ you used game buyer who didn’t give us money, then mail a game through the mail back to someone, adding the cost of postage to a idea that costs them money in their…

For Smash you had to register the copy. Since they don’t do that with games anymore, it would still be unfair for anyone who bought it after they stopped doing that. Too many logicistics to make less money on the trasaction.

Because Microsoft and Playstation have done that. Why does everyone think that Nintendo should do that but doesn’t hold the other two, or even the big publishers, to the same standard. Really the only game/company to do this is Harmonix with Rock Band.

Problem is that there’s no fair way to implement this. How can they tell if someone still owns the disc version? Is the discount is only for the download version, then people who bought it on disc feels ripped off. But if you give the discount to disc people, people who no longer have the game are going to get that…

“Although the precise term used under section 117 is “archival” copy”
Dig around farther, mostly under the parts of the law that is used by libraries, and you’ll find that that “Archival copies” are for use only if the original is destroyed, or so damaged that…

If that happened then he covered the vents on both the system and dock.

But then you either have to have some sort of messed up split screen, or a second screen on the switch, which would defeat the whole “plug and play at home, then take it with you” aspect.

I was pointing out that most people use the backup excuse wrong. I forgot the /s at the end was all, as I agreed with your stance.

It could actually be an attack on emulators and piracy. Part of copyright is proving something is damaging your sales. They could argue they couldn’t get the price they wanted because of pirates and emulators and it forced them to lower the price AND limit the production numbers to make it a viable product. then sue…

“could we not make an attractive offer to continue this?”
Depends. This the company they’re having manufactor this for them one that also produces Switch parts and could be better used helping with that shortage? How much actual profit did Nintendo make on each unit? Did they have an agreement with 3rd parties that…

That’s the point of limited editions of anything. Find a Collector’s edition of Destiny 2. You can’t, it sold out. It’s done in many MANY major industries.
We make X amount of said item and call it limited or collectors.
Said item sells out and scalpers go crazy.
Company announces next limited or collector’s item.
People,…

Exec #1: The NES Classic is way more popular than we expected! But it cuts into our production of Switch units, might hurt Switch Virtual Console sales when that launches, and barely makes us any profit.
Exec #2: Discontinue it.

They’ve said the Virtual Console is coming to the Switch, just not when.

Because if they really wanted to, having your addmittance here to comitting a crime, they could request your information and have you arrested? And make you pay WAY more money, just for those 30 games?

They expected to sell 2 miilion units of the Switch in the first quarter on the market, or 3 months. They sold that 2 million in the first month. I’d say they’re doing okay.

Except, you know, you’ll own an emulator with no games, unless you go buy hard copies of all those games then somehow copy the ROM off those copies (as the law requires YOU to make the copy, not someone), then use the copy you bought to play the game (oh wait, the emulator can’t do that) until it breaks, THEN legally…
