Honest question: how is it possibly “complete” bullshit, when we know for a fact that console makers are taking like a hundred dollar wash on every console sold whereas Apple and Google make substantial profit on every device sold?

I mean I would love to see consoles forced to allow sideloading and alternate app stores too, but I can’t fathom how you cant see the difference in business models…

Note that it was 1 year ago. So the hardware is probably less expensive now and the exceptions are at the very least not as marked.

And of course, it was never true for the Switch to begin with.
