It...already has an SSD? Have you contemplated the costs of slot + game cards + shipping + third-party sales fees vs. SSD?
It has an SSD sized on the assumption that games go in the slot. It has an SSD that's the price of a game, and will only hold a dozen. And they could probably get away with less, thanks to focusing on the negligible cost of a hole and some pins.
Nintendo is only now figuring out that Virtual Console purchases should be transferable... at all. They are not qualified to handle a digital-only console. I think the idea of deleting a game and re-downloading it, for free, was a recent surprise to some of these people. The same way Sony's still trying to repeat the PS2, Nintendo's been trying to repeat the Famicom Disk System.
I mean they're one of the most profitable companies in the business. There's no reason they couldn't become qualified...
They could.
They haven't.
They won't.
Well I never tried to speculate what they were going to do...
Commenting on what they're doing right now is not meaningfully different. This started with you second-guessing their commitment to cartridges.
You're mistaken. My statement was simply that it was wild that they were still doing it.
Distinction without difference.
It isn't.
My guy, if remarking that it's "crazy" isn't commentary on whether it makes sense, what is it?
My guy, commenting on what makes sense is not the same thing as speculating about what they're going to do or second guessing their commitment to cartridges.
Anything else you'd like to make up?
My apologies for remembering the words you wrote.
If you don't like speculation, don't say things like "there’s no reason they couldn’t become qualified." Because that, in itself, is speculation. As surely as calling this situation "crazy" is commentary on whether it makes sense.
🤣 No it's not.
Have a nice night.
"They can" isn't, but "they can't" is.
Sure dude.
