The problem isn't with the journalism matter, but the will to give petty blows here and there, as for example using data to mock a side when making a comparision. It's just not professional, it's something I expect on a forum or a blog post, and as it's not being shared with friends as a joke, that's just what it is, petty, flaming on a big scale, coming from a serious source. |
While it could've been construed as a jab at Nintendo, I think it was meant to add context to what happens when you have a PS+ like service with tons of different offerings (movies as well as games etc...) versus a service like what Nintendo provides. Also, if you followed Zhuge, you'd notice he said on Twitter today that he'd love to post Microsoft's network info, but they won't release it. Soooo, when you only have two companies providing their financials in this regard, well...comparisons are fine imo.
I think, however, just like when Microsoft, or Sony are struggling, Nintendo folks can be just as overly sensitive and see insult where none actually exists. It seems that only certain individuals in the forums are given carte blanche to troll, as long as they have previously identified themselves as said troll. Which is why someone can go into a thread talking about 2015 financials, and post financial information ending 5 years ago, stretching back to the 90's as if that's somehow relevant to the thread.
