It’s black now, isn’t it?
Anyway, they originally said that video games are recession-proof, but apparently it’s only Nintendo.

I don’t think Nintendo said it. Quite the opposite iirc.
And the logo should be that pale grey colour. Like the Wii stand or their power brick.

No, Nintendo didn’t say it. I used “they” to refer to the usual industry mouthpieces.
