Why would they make an Android phone? That seems like a huge burden without a reward. Also phones are not a place people buy premium games.

What was the last $90 iPhone game you bought?

It makes more sense to make cheap/free android and ios apps that drive people back to a dedicated gaming device that traditionally sells high cost games.

You have 30 days after delivery of your order to return or exchange products purchased directly from the My Nintendo Store. Nintendo will not refund the cost of shipping unless the return is a result of Nintendo providing a product that is damaged, defective, or different than the product you ordered.

Not a terrible policy but clearly lacking compared to Amazon. Thanks for the warning.

They lost 90% of their sales the last time they added that letter, I doubt the would do it again.

Switch V.

My main gripe and reason to not purchase would be the lack of removable components. And a fatter switch without removable components sounds like a WiiU without the optical drive or offloaded processor unit.

I think the sales numbers of Switch units for 2022 are compelling. It demonstrates how others feel about an integrated device from Nintendo.

2.6 million lites sold vs 15.3 million joycon enabled switches (6.1 standard, 9.2 oled)

(Also the dock is great for charging)

The WiiU was a huge failure, why try again?

The Nintendo Switch sold 3.25 million units last quarter, bringing the console's total sales to over 114.33 million. In terms of lifetime sales, the Wii U sold 13.54 million units and the standard Wii hit a total of 101.6 million consoles sold.

Aka, ~100 million customers bought something else that generation.
