I remember when Reggie said they wouldn't abandon the Wii U until customers felt satisfied with it. Obviously that's quite a difficult thing to do, but at least they gave it a good shot. When the Switch came out, I still trusted Nintendo to deliver worthwhile experiences.
In comparison, this gen has been such a disappointment, I doubt many people truly feel satisfied with what we've gotten. Who in their right mind would feel excited to buy another expensive box under these conditions? What, you want to be tricked and taken advantage of again?
