I’m not the only one, either. I think the only people left are those who see Nintendo as video-game iPhones and autopilot into a purchase, and the diehards who have dedicated Amiibo rooms.

And even those might suffer some causalities, depending on how things go:

  • the ones treating games like luxury goods are a bit too susceptible towards popular attitude. If Nintendo goes from "wow, you got a Nintendo!" to "you got a Nintendo? Cringe. Even Twilight is a better love story.", they'll be quick to ditch it too.
  • diehard fans tolerate more abuse than reasonable fans, but that amount if not infinite. And Nintendo has been rather abusive when it comes to the Switch 2, including remote bricking it for spurious reasons.
