Is it soldered to the system though? Or is it just some double sided tape?
People will dismantle the console and sell its parts at ridiculous prices
Exactly my points. There are no suppliers beside Nintendo (actually other companies but you know what I am saying) and the parts are not meant to be handled by average gamer.
Yep, Nintendo will sure as hell make you pay double the OG cost.Seems easy to repair! No need to send for Nintendo to switch the battery hopefully
If the average gamer includes PC gamers it shouldnt be too much of an issue.
I bet! Here a local store wanted to charge double than the price of a brand new Apple computer because of a fried motherboard. So we just scrapt it and bought a new Apple computer instead. It was cheaper after all. (The insurance refused to cover it for reasons unknown, even if we have the extra protection plan)
I can't tell you how many friends have thought I was a godsend for just replacing a broken battery in their macbook for 30-50 bucks, all total. The repair game has to have huge margin of profit to stay in business, it would seem.
I have done my fair share of plugging cables and screwing screws, but I would prefer to leave it alone. There is not much point of replacing the battery yourself if you can just give it back to Nintendo.
Except out of warranty repairs usually cost way too much (and generally batteries aren't covered anyway) so sure, while you might not want to do it, for some people being able to buy a $15 battery and install it themselves would be better than paying Nintendo $100 to do it for you, plus there are some places that don't even have official repair centres
And then there are the cell phone repair shops that will do it for $60. I might be able to do it but would have to invest in some specialized tools and a few hours researching the process. Better to pay someone a few bucks that does this type of thing all day.
The PS4 and XBONE were outdated ON LAUNCH. The same with pro.
Yes theyre selling great but not anywhere near PC. Switch is aiming for gameplay over graphics which is admirable.
Switch isnt using even older tech, what are you on? The foxconn leaks would mean tech from 2016 not 2011.
Their demographic is ALL people not core gamers. A nintendo home console would sell like crap what does it have over PS4? nothing.
what does it have over XBONE? Nothing.
Exclusives arent enough.
Really? That's Your response?
What part was not clear to you exactly?Ahhh...this damned thing attached that to the wrong person. I understand your confusion...it was meant for the person you replied to
Indeed, I wonder how much @DeadlyFoez @gamesquest1 and @smealum are drolling over those motherboards.
Portability is certainly a huge factor to consider for mult-plats, but price is as well. There is only so much of a premium I am willing to pay for portability. $50 for Bomberman and $40 for Tetris, no thanks.
