    The Switch starts at a lower price point, it’s available at Walmart, it’s more durable for the average child to handle, and Mario/Pokemon/Zelda are what someone like Warren Buffet might call a “brand moat”, where nothing’s really going to interfere with that business model.

        You can do a lot of things by pirating. Most people aren’t interested in loading a Switch emulator and downloading roms.

        You can’t just pop a cartridge in or head to the eShop and download it. Most people don’t want to research and figure out emulators.
