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.

That last tweet was just one of them, it happens sometimes, that's why I wish that he would hold somewhat, and some are clearly aimed at what they are aimed, you don't need to be on the other end to see it or try to see it, it's pretty clear. It's not one-sided as well.

Heh, yeah he just posted a good one that takes a swipe at Microsoft...or is just a terrible pun lol (For it to be a swipe, XBL would have to be having tech issues, but I don't pay attention to what's going on with the networks, so I couldn't tell ya).  

"How many engineers does it take to fix Xbox Live?" 

"360"

"I hate myself"

That having been said, in context of his comments with Nintendo, the comparison is fair, and simply for lack of any other alternatives (And there was no indication in his tweet that it was any kind of jab, it's a matter of factly stated, not Hahaha fuck you Nintendo).  He's posted plenty of Nintendo sales info today, not to mention Pokemon stuff.  

In context of Forbes, fuck them.  Zero fucks given. Forbes, at one point, was sort of like Time, or fuck, even Rolling Stone.  Highly regarded centers for journalism.  They have a verified twitter account that tweeted absurdly...just absurdly false information, so incredibly false, that I doubt you could find very may individuals who consider themselves interested or involved in the tech industry who'd confuse Sony as the producer of the 360.  Wouldn't that be like saying Apple released an update for Windows 10?
