Nintendo doesn't know how to run a business. They know how to make games.

It's a shame. Because, as you said, they could effectively print as much money as they wanted with a long-term production run of the NES classic and the obvious sequels for SNES, N64, and Game Boy.



Per Wikipedia, "Nintendo is one of the world's largest video game companies by market capitalization. Founded on 23 September 1889...."

I think they're doing okay running a business.


You'd think that, then you'd see them doing things like stopping production of the NES Classic, which is one of the most idiotic moves ever.

So long as you can sell a product at a profit, you keep fucking selling it.
