Not to excuse Nintendo, but I think people need to stop being such big consumers. Having new phones and new consoles on release is completely unnecessary; I bet most gamers have bought games that they haven't even played yet, let alone finished, and are already anxious for a system that hasn't even been released.

I think we all can be more patient and frugal, and stop following trends and releases so closely.

You're right. I didn't consider that it's easier to play with other people when adopting early. I didn't consider this.

I have to say, I have used the phrase "Drill Down" to refer to the same thing? Does it cause the same reaction?

Ohh! Just joined! Thank you!!
