Comment on Secure Operating Systems (Microkernels seems to be the future)
towerful@programming.dev 5 months agoWho is subsidising it? You mean a loss-leader?
Previous consoles have been loss-leaders, the original switch isnt. Im not sure about the new gen switch, but considering the success of the first one, i doubt it is.
The manufacturer’s suggested retail price in the U.S. is $299.99. As we have stated before, unlike Wii U, the Nintendo Switch price point was set to ensure that the hardware is not basically sold at a loss

I meant Sony and Micorsoft were selling Playstation and Xbox at loss, profiting from games instead
Nintendo doesn’t seem to be selling their Hardware at loss so probably profits from hardware, actually considering their hardware (which is weaker than even midrange android phones) they probably sell at good profit margin
