Understandable and I'll keep waiting cuz it a 4.5 year old games.
That is your right, but console games are different than PC games so the sales work differently. Nintendo makes their money on games, not the console. So the sales will be less frequent and a smaller percent. If you want to wait until the next sale, good for you. But this is a good sale whether you like it or not.

I get now that all of the Nintendo's quality games and bread and butter but let be honest with ourselves. Are we the type of people who gonna stop being a Slickdealer when it comes to Nintendo? I'm not the only one viewing this way and you're not either which is fine. Not complaining.

Remember when nintendo had player's choice or whatever it was called where games dropped down to 20 bucks? Those were the days...

Kicking myself for not buying this BF (cut myself off, thought I'd spent enough), but based on trending, this might still be the best deal for many months, so if you want it anytime soon, it's still a good deal. 🤷 ♂️

That is incorrect. MS and Sony follow the business model of selling consoles at a lost or at cost and make money off software licensing in the millions per year. Nintendo is the only one of the First Parties that sell consoles at profit, whether it's just a few measly bucks or tens of dollars. Nintendo is really killing it and raking in the dollars more than the Wii era (Wii had poor software attachment ratio of the three first parties and made money mostly on the console sales than software licenses). You can say Nintendo makes more money off software licensing since third parties and indie devs are flocking to them right now and that dwarfs the profits Nintendo gets for just the console itself.

To be fair, Nintendo doesn't sell their consoles at a loss. Microsoft and Sony do though.
