@roy130390 Nintendo has never been on the verge of survival. No company makes more sales than Nintendo off games. Nintendo not being able to survive is like saying Vita almost sunk Sony out of bussiness. It would be silly to think so.

Nintendo never even dropped the price of the Wii U console. Cause they were smart and knew it would help. Short term profits would not have helped them in the future.

@roy130390 Wii U games weren't constantly on sale. Nintendo has never waviered even when Wii U had horrible numbers. Meanwhile Sony tried to discount Vita and Vita games to high heaven. Look where that got them, it made everything worst.

Apple uses the Nintendo method also. And we can't say if other tried they wouldn't be around, cause none have tried. They are too focused on greed to think about long term profits. They just want to quick fix.

@roy130390 When you discount a game 50% off it means you have to sell double the copies. It also hurts your sales cause people always wait for the price to drop. Nintendo is about long term profits. It's better for investors, developers, gamers, and the whole nine yards.

FF can discount the game all they want, they never even come close to Zelda Breath of the Wild. Heck even 80% off, still won't come close.

@roy130390 I'm happy Nintendo don't go for cheap and chase sales numbers. That leaves more money for developers and more work for said developers in the future.

All I'm saying is it bombed expectations. You think it didnt, that's ok. But history shows these numbers are not that great. It's most likely the game has underperformed and will now have to be discounted to get more copies out and hope the next installment does better.
