it ' s a videogame , and nothing is owed to you until you buy it . Entitlement doesn ' t not apply to business . A sale is a twoway contract . Just as Nintendo owes me nothing , conversely I owe no money to Nintendo until they offer me a product I ' m interested in . Thus it ' s in their best interest to create products that hit a sweet spot for as much of the market as possible in terms of price and actual content . If your assertion is that Wii U owners don ' t matter , that ' s partially true . Disgruntled Wii U owners not buying Switch won ' t be that big a deal . However to make the claim that your past actions are things people will pay no attention to is silly . You think Samsung isn ' t going to take a significant hit next year due to the Note 7 fiasco ? This is going to be a delicate operation that needs to be handled with care when it comes to pricing , marketing and the product itself . Whilst a small aspect might seem insignificant , it ' s easy to suffer a death of 1000 cuts in business .
