Don't give them any more ideas! No, but actually, this might be an unfortunate consequence of this whole thing. Locking it to a console would get rid of MIG Switch, but at the cost of killing a big used game industry. I think they wouldn't try it, due to the sheer amount of blowback they would get (far beyond anything else they've done before), but we never know.

Would they really? I mean, the way I see it, they are pushing for the all digital market more and more. It's really in their best interest to kill a market that gives no money to them.

Besides, they don't need to outright kill it, just spread the fear of bans if you buy used. Enough to indirectly kill the market by making people believe buying used is dangerous.

[–] heythatsprettygood@feddit.uk 2 points 6 days ago

You have a good point. As long as that fear is in the used games market, people will be incentivised to only buy new cartridges (if not digital) as they can't trust any used ones. The only sales then would be between people who know each other and are swapping their games, which is a far smaller market. It is somewhat ironic that the MIG Switch, a device made by people who have nothing to do with Nintendo, might end up helping Nintendo revenues by making it so that nobody can trust that used games weren't cloned.

Some claim "unfortunate consequence", for others and probably the correct interpretation"working as intended". The fact that some believe oterwise is naive.
