Take a marketing class to defend yourself from corporate brainwashing. Nintendo has been literally brainwashing us since we were babies and had no concept of marketing. I'm not even talking about hardware specs. The switch has joycon issues, expensive games that are mediocre, and for some reason you confuse investment and innovation with quality. Wasting money and bad ideas are not qualities. I used to be a Nintendo fanatic, but their systems and flagship games since N64 have woken me up to their quality issues. The fact that people suggested BOTW was a greatest game of all time despite having only 1 temple theme and 3 enemies (with various skins), shows you that we are under mind control.

Or, perhaps, you are not in touch with how people evaluate and experience products, unless your intent is dry humour. People love the Switch and loved games like BOTW , Mario Odyssey, etc. because they were the best products Nintendo had shipped in 20 years. I hadn’t owned a Nintendo console since the SNES, thought the Wii was “meh”. They knocked this one out of the park - they managed to make a portable gaming device relevant in a world where everyone has a smartphone. Part of the challenge is that the completion largely do not build portable gaming devices. Apple and Samsung also consistently rank very high in tech support and customer satisfaction indexes. Let’s look at the main alternatives in the smartphone space: Pixel, LG, Motorola, Xiaomi, Huawei. Are these paragons of quality? Or are you comparing against an imaginary standard of quality?
