    ‘If it’s the only place to play Mario, you buy it’

    Can someone rephrase this sentence? I don’t understand it.

      People will buy the Switch 2 and its games despite the high price because of the exclusive Nintendo games you can only play on that console.

      He’s basically saying “suck it up, buttercup”. They think people are going to have no choice but pay these prices, with all the crazy shit going on. Maybe the Switch 2 will be successful, but most of my adult video gamer friends have already said they are going to pass. Only the ones that still have small kids are considering it.

      He means “there are a ton of children with parents who cannot enforce boundaries and there are a ton of grown people who will make poor financial decisions”. Nintendo will exploit both

      Hopefully someone will exploit Nintendo with a paper clip again

      If you can only play mario on the switch, even if it costs a lot of money, people will generally buy the switch and the game.

      Implying that people really like mario and that people are generally expected to do whatever it takes to play it.

      What part is unclear? You want to play Mario, you buy a Nintendo console.
