Nintendo aren't the monster they are being played as.

I do think the price is too high for the console, games etc but they have always been slow to the party in many ways. That also means they create amazing stuff that the others cannot and have forged their own path. Don't hate on them for that aspect.

Well joining the party of others is not good, when the others do shit, is it? This is not for framing Nintendo the devil and other console companies as angels.

Global console gaming is dominated by three major corporations, all now focused on expanding profit margins (with 'margins' being the keyword). Nintendo, with its strong loyal fanbase and historically stable pricing, is the easiest target to start another round of game price hikes.
