It’s a shame the Wii U didn’t bankrupt Nintendo.

Nintendo could afford to release 10 failed consoles in a row and still keep going, that was the case back when the Wii U released as well

A shame they didn’t

Proof of what? Nintendo having a shit-ton of money? I don't understand why you would even need a source of that, but sure, here's one

as of March 2024 Nintendo has $14.87 Billion in cash on hand.

in comparison in March of 2024 Apple had $162 Billion.

They're publically traded, their finances are public, the Wii and Switch secured the company for decades

I do wonder if the steam deck exists in this alternate timeline you propose

[–] parpol@programming.dev 9 points 1 week ago

It probably does with detachable controllers.

[–] Arbiter@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

No, but we do have a proper Nvidia Shield Portable 2.

We got Tears of the Kingdom, but at what cost?
