its not uncommon but definitely a scummy move.

what this means legaly speaking, is that if a user has a dispute against Nintendo, a neutral Thirdi party will be brought in to evaluate, instead of going to court.

again, not uncommon, but scummy, especially coming from "sues alot" nintendo

PRIMORDUS4h ago(Edited 4h ago)

A judge should force Nintendo or any other companies that if people want to file a class-action lawsuits they can do so. This is why I always feel that when companies try to fuck over it's customers, I want those people involed who call the shot to be removed from this world. I will never change my stance on this.

“Removed from this world “‘ like Luigi style?

Wonder if this is an easy way out of potential Joycon drift.. Screw Nintendo if so. Getting super lazy and cheaping out on hardware at the same time.

Nintendo and their scummy practices have no boundaries. "Family friendly" my foot

well, the switch 2 has two holidays in the us, thanksgiving and Christmas.

so id say its fairly possible. the rest of the world will also grab them

Abriael20h ago

Yeah doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility as long as they have enough supply.

Do people buy each other games consoles for Thanksgiving? I’m in Europe and always assumed it was just Christmas where gifts were exchanged.

Skate-AK10h ago

I don't think it's so much Thanksgiving, but that Black Friday is the day after.

darthv729h ago(Edited 9h ago)

That time is often referred to as the start of the Xmas shopping season. For the last few years, retailers would do 'black Friday' deals at various times throughout the year. While many still prefer to start their shopping in the mid to late November, others will just buy when they feel the time (and prices) are right for them.

Switch and Switch are a different kettle of fish. A sell out at launch by the diehards, strong sales, then the non diehards will be put off by the £75 ($99) games, including the stupid download cards which are topping £65 ($85). Not rocket science to work out how the Switch 2 is going to pan out. The PS5 has sold well, but games at £70, sales have been low. As game sales drop, prices will rise. Sony could knock out all their games for £40 and still make a killing selling more games. There's no denying that a gaming crash is looming.

Rancegamerx6h ago

I agree, I don't see the Switch 2 selling anywhere near the numbers that these predictions suggest or what the general buzz is implying. While the initial sales will likely be strong, driven by diehard fans, I anticipate a gradual decline. It may not drop off immediately, but over time, sales will inevitably taper.

PRIMORDUS6h ago

Not paying for something that's not worth more than the price it was advertised, which is $449 - $499.
