[–] ColeSloth@discuss.tchncs.de 1 point 2 years ago (1 child) Why are you trying to compare a computer to a walled garden Nintendo switch? Hell, you're making my argument for me. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Telorand@reddthat.com 10 points 2 years ago (1 child) I can't believe I have to rehash this again. A Switch is a computer. My point wasn't that it's somehow better, but Nintendo already did exactly what you said: made a handheld portable computer with built-in screen that can play games locally and is sold at a loss only to recoup those losses with software sales. The Deck can do more than the Switch, but that doesn't make the Switch less of a computer. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] adrian783@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago Nintendo hardwares are sold for profit permalink fedilink source parent
