Nintendo Is Selling An Empty Splatoon 2 Box

>>377754923
I'm honestly suprised companies don't do this more, i'm sure if nintendo put a few of them up on ebay they'd make like a thousand dollars per box

They're selling a full bundle that includes everything pictured in the box, as well as just the box for $5 for collection purposes. I highly fucking doubt you'll actually be seeing the empty boxes in stores.

>>377754923
Isn't five dolla a bith much for a mere box?

It's aimed at collectors, better to take up the market anyways then see ebayers doing the same except 20x the price.

>>377754923
And yet those things are aparently selling a lot, meaning people actually want the boxes, what do you say now OP?

Late Capitalism, the stupid cyberpunk future is close.

*tips fedora*

They will defend anything. I lost respect for them basically when they defended amiibos

>>377754923
People willingly bought happy meal toys for $14. Selling empty boxes for $5 was the next step.

>>377754923
There is literally nothing wrong with this.

>nintendo giving collectors an option to buy the box so they don't have to buy a whole new console
>somehow a bad thing
name 3 (three) (III) things wrong with this

defense mode engaged

if they had a console in the box you'd never see it except on ebay going for $200 over the retail price. this way if you want you can just get a box with the demand hopefully being lower

If it's for Splatoon fans who already bought the Switch, why doesn't it include the colored Joycons?
Of course not for $5, stupid!

Honestly I think every company should have the option to buy a replacement case/box from them. It'd make buying preowned games much more enticing since you can just get an official replacement case from the publisher.

>>377755214
I'm not defending anything, but boxes can be pretty good decorations, like posters but on shelves.
Same with physical games.

>>377756121

>literally advertised as an empty box

are you retarded or just pretending

I don't get the point of this.

>>377757678
Collectible without the need to buy a 2nd consoles , like how they are selling just the box of the game without the cartridge

>>377757521
Do you really have to ask?

Just don't buy it you tard. Who cares if some collectors want to buy an empty box

>>377757521
its in the fine print that its empty, like when you buy a keyboard on ebay and get a god damn picture of a keyboard
>b-but thats not a scam xDDD you knew you were buying a box XDDD
fuck OFF

>>377754923
What's the problem? If people are stupid enough to buy an empty box then go ahead and let them. It's a brilliant move on Nintendo's part.

>>377757986

that says "Happy fun time inside box"

>>377754923
It seems to be an online only thing, meaning it's pretty unlikely to trick costumers into believing it's a real thing. Also it's 5 fucking dollars, if that doesn't raise a red flag to a potential buyer than I don't know what will.

I mean there's a market for box collection, it's not that far out for Nintendo to do this.

A box is what makes or breaks a collection. Sealed boxes in perfect conditions are the best, followed by opened boxes. Selling them like this will only make the Switch worth close to nothing for collectors in the future, both in money value and in rarity

>>377759781
It's not though. A buyer in 10-20 years won't be interested in a boxed Switch as both box and consoles will be very common, and sellers won't be bothered to sell since they can't make money from it

We've reached a point where collectors are not concerned with the novelty of the item itself, but the expense of it. Literally having the item to say "look how much money I spent on my toy"

That's pathetic.

You're not making any sense, they are only selling just the box, it has nothing to do with The Switch. We also don't know how the Nintendo plans on selling the box so we can't assume how its going to to be sold.

今頃を何騒いでんの馬鹿外人は

>>377755483
1. It's a fucking empty box. They're literally selling a fucking empty box.
2. There's nothing about the box that makes it valuable or collectible. It's just a fucking empty Nintendo Switch box that has some Splatoon shit on top.
3. Collectors want the shit that's packaged in the box. They don't just want an empty box by itself.

>>377762053
It's worth $1 and they're selling it for $5.

>>377762204
Where in the article does it say that the boxes are limited?

>>377761916
What, you think people are gonna be lining up to buy boxes? It's just for the cunts who already have a Switch but want the bundle box for collection purposes yet don't want to drop another $300 on a console they already own.

>>377762363
Yes that's how most companies make a profit you literal retard. You don't price a item according to how much it took to make, but how much people are willing to pay for it.

It's a box with art on it for $5. It's purely for people who want to collect them.

>>377755214
I want them to sell boxes for their old games now. Imagine what the retro collector market would be like if they put up n64, snes, etc boxes to replace the worn out shit you currently have?

>>377763463
I wouldn't pay $5 for a box. I wouldn't pay 5 fucking cents for a box. What the fuck am I gonna do with a fucking box you stupid faggot?

Lucky you aren't forced to buy it huh

>>377763684
As said before, for collection purposes.

It's not about whether YOU want them, it's about whether the target audience wants them. The same logic applies to amiibos. Their quality isn't great, but they fill a certain niche market that allows them to make a profit.

In this specific scenario, it's basically like paying $5 for a picture to display in your room.
