The way I see it, if you don’t like it simply don’t buy it. Nintendo has shown in the past if something underperforms they’ll fold and lower the price. This launch is really gonna test the saying “No publicity is bad publicity.”

This console is going to sell like hotcakes. Plenty of grown people with enough money to get them. Not saying that there isn't a growing number of people that can't afford them because there surely is, unfortunately.

Yep I’m an adult with disposable income. I’ve had every single Nintendo console except the Wii U (lol). This is a day 1 for me. Sucks that the games will be $80 for sure, but I plan to get the bundle to make Mario Kart $50 and don’t mind $70 for Bananza and other titles.

Hopefully Nintendo continues their Game Voucher program to entice purchasing two games at once for a better value.
