The Over Sensationalism Surrounding Nintendo

There has been a massive debate over the last couple months over the idea of Nintendo & the Switch 2 potentially flopping over the holiday & it spelling doom & gloom for the Switch 2 in the near future. A lot of misinformation swung around, overcharged emotional opinions to incomplete sources with thin context, all taking place before Nintendo's fiscal quarterly reports on how they performed last holiday. I'm pretty tired of this over-exaggerated swagger of a company's failings that weren't even the case w/ people extending anger & problems towards Nintendo into immediate assumptions above all else. This isn't the 1st time something like this has happened in the Nintendo sphere either. Accuracy & proper examination are dead apparently.
