Nintendo has the WOAT business sense and supply chain

[Wildin]

I've never seen a company that I've wanted to give money to do such a bad job of having availibility.



I've been doing Fitness Boxing and even tho it's sold well, they have not released any new songs or DLC. Again, now's a great time to put out more content for people wanting to work out at home.

I just heard about this shyt called Ring Fit Adventure. Looks fire, it's an RPG fitness game. But guess what... it comes with a unique accessory and the shyt is sold out everywhere. Matter fact it's been sold out way before this quarantine.

Ring fit was not sold out before the quarantine. I saw it with my own eyes. There wasn't a lot, like 20 copies on the shelf, but at target and Wal-Mart the demand wasn't there. The game came out in October(someone in another thread said it came out a year ago, which is false), and before Christmas, Wal-Mart had $10 off. So it was 59.99 instead of Wal-Mart 69.99 and amazon/target 79.99.

It was there. That's why I ended up grabbing it. Family ended up buying it for me and the kids not knowing I already had it. Thus why I'm going to sell it on eBay. Funny thing is I'll probably sell it for $220 to $250 which is more than a switch lite!



In fact, I bought it.

And I have a second one that's brand new I'm going to put on eBay on Monday.

Fitness boxing don't need new songs. Turn the music off. I did that day 1. I do wish you could randomize the workouts. Or custom create workouts.

Nintendo cash on hand $9.75 billion



one of the highest profit margins out of any company in the world



high profit, low overhead, less stress



WOAT business sense ?

Ok



Outside of Amazon or Microsoft or Apple, majority of companies in the entire world would probably swap spots for Nintendo business model if they could

Exactly.

But im sure glad we have experts right here on the Coli, who know the game better than Nintendo.

The music helps me get in the mood. I even tried to figure out the bpms and play my own stuff in the background but couldn’t quite time it right. I rarely buy dlc but I’d cop some new music.

thread title is hyperbole.

So y’all just gonna ignore the bad supply decisions they’ve made because they have a monopoly on certain IP that people love? Act like Nintendo didn’t almost go out of business before or that the WiiU wasn’t a flop.

I’m calling out simple shyt they could improve to make the people who buy their shyt even happier. And... most of it is at very little cost or effort to them.

I'm not convinced their supply is low or intentionally low.

Right now stores even Gamestops are having trouble with inventory. I still don't know what a funko pop is but I heard some dude crying in GameStop about them not coming in.

Maybe Nintendos shyt comes straight from china/japan? Idk

Any other time people are like "target had 10 switches on the shelf, nobody's buying that gimmick shyt they should give up and just make games"

Then smash drops, or odessey, or pokemon sword and shield, or let's go Pokemon, or animal crossing and people are like "what the fukk! I cant find a switch anywhere "

Right after ring fit dropped I saw it in store. In fact it was like the labo kits. I saw them like mad and was like " they must not be selling"

When Wal-Mart had that price drop from 69.99 to 59.99 I was all in but couldnt find it before Christmas in a store. I didn't want to pay 79.99 at target. Eventually I saw it at Wal-Mart it and was like , might as well. And it was the last one. At the time. Late Jan.

Nobody was prepared for these circumstances. I'm sure Nintendo is doing what they can, but are their factories even open right now?

 

[Wildin]

Gone. I didn't even have the listing up for an hour.

I had an auction. And a buy it now. Person bought it now. I watched a bunch of sales of it on eBay. The average price auctions ended at was 205 + shipping. So I adjusted my auction because I was going to start at $220. The buy it now has to be atleast 30%. I wasn't going to offer buy it now for $260. I should've. People are asking much much more.

I'm sure this strategy that Nintendo has been employing for ages and has kept their vaults filled with cash is working just fine for them.

Have supply issues is working just 'fine' for them? How do you figure?

Nintendo full of goofs but this Switch system honestly is just whew


They really bounced back off the Wii-U flop

Just need to keep it in stock (And some of their accessories too )

Super Nintendo Entertainment System™ Controller

This controller sells out in 10 minutes flat every damn time. They restock about once every 2 months. Idiots.

not to mention they fukk with a bunch of streamers that create content for super Mario maker and delete their levels.

Then the online model is just.... idk. They want me to have an app on my phone in my lap at the same time while I’m playing multiplayer just to chat?

I’ll forgive them if they bring back diddy Kong racing

Brother. The online makes me furious. What games do y’all play that require chat? I consistently run Fortnite (don’t judge me lol) because I can plug in my headset and not deal with that shyt box app.

HELL, IS THERE ANYWAY TO BLUETOOTH YOUR HEADSET IN DOCKED MODE??

 

[KravenMorehead™]

expect workers to be in the factory during social distancing brehs

EDIT: Speaking of which have you made any comics about this shyt? You should have all kinda material right now...

Nintendo is a 40 Billion dollar company, I'm sure they know how to run a business.

Walmart, Costco, Target are barred from selling 'nonessential' items such as clothing and electronics in parts of the US.

I said in another thread and loosely in this one. They aren't shipping games and systems because it's "non essential" and now stores are choosing whether or not to sell them
