Too expensive

Not enough killer apps
That, and we have an economy in shambles.
For the first time in my life, I don't know a single person that bought the 'new console'.
Mario Kart and Donkey Kong didn't feel like console movers to me.
A new Mario game or Zelda game might have moved me.
I'll definitely cop when a new Smash Bros comes out.

Think there's a generational element at play too.

Boomers - no

Gen X - their kids are all grown. The ones who game are mostly PC/PS5 etc. They in their late 40s to early 60s. Nintendo handheld probably isn't their thing...even though they were the generation that made Nintendo big.

Millenials/Gen Z - if they got money and wanted it, they already bought it. What's left are those that can't afford it AND those who can...but don't want it.

Gen Alpha - they stuck in that Roblox/Minecraft world. Platform doesn't mean shyt to them. Phone, tablet....whatever console their parents have. Unlike Gen X and Millenials parents (Boomers & Silent Gen), Gen Alpha has parents that game. That means they don't really have to ask for a console or game device because Mom and Dad are gamers too.

This proves they do

No one’s buying Nintendo to play resident evil abd madden

They need a big Mario game and Zelda.

Pokémon being 2027 is also gonna hurt. Nintendo don’t have those big 10 million sellers like year one of switch
b-b-but Mario Kart and Donkey Kong :sadcam:

Cost too much, no compelling software yet(besides Mario Kart and Donkey Kong to an extent.)

A new 3D Mario, Zelda and Animal Crossing will move units. Right now nobody really cares for the other shyt. Watch if a new Smash Bros gets announced :wow:
