He's objectively, quantifiably wrong, and so are you if you agree with him. Nintendo has gotten mroe hate than any company this gen. If you are of the opinion that people shoud be able to hate on a company without baclash.... well, that's rather one-sided, now innit?

@OP: IMO it's split amoungst the Big Three the amount of citizism, but when you have vocal "journlist" (Morgan Webb, Damon Hatfield, to name a few) that HATE everything Nintendo, it rings a teeny bit hollow when you say that Nintendo is ALWAYS praised.

...Rolstoppable put it best with the bolded. *shrugs*

You mean critic-proof now?  When you are Nintendo, and you bring your revamped versions of franchises people loved from the past, and eager to see, it ends up being hard to want to be critical of them.   They got fragged RUTHLESSLY by the critics, and gamers, and game media when the Wii was announced and the press conference that Wii Music was announced at.  The level of criticism thrown at them then is what I am seeing now regarding Microsoft and Kinect.  People make fun of the animal game, and claim the videos are faked.  They are ruthless at them.

Why does Nintendo seem immune now?  Well, they offer what seems to be the most leading edge technology in the form of 3D without glasses.  And then combine it with the comfort level of franchises people have loved.  This is like someone who came in with a litters of puppies and kittens.  You are so emotionally affected by them, you aren't going to be as critical of them, and you certain don't want no sourpusses to affect your mood.

I have a question. OP mention, that Ninty basically doesn't have new any new IP's for 3DS...hell in General...But when they do create ones, i.e: Fling Smash, Wii Series, Steel Diver, Xenoblade, etc...How come they are over looked?

...Is it because they are IP's no one wants?

Due to how the industry has matured, it is now hard to suddenly announce a new IP into the market, and expect it to be something someone wants.  Look, for example, how many people are yelling for an update to Final Fantasy VII, for example.  What excites people now is to play what they know in new ways that excite.

This is way I ask the good peeps of VG! Thank you.

Welcome (I think).  It is amazing how people say they want new, but when the old stuff comes out, people jump all over it.  The industry is now driven to create franchises that it can milk as cashcows.  Outside of Indie games, I don't see companies funding projects to be done, unless they can produce a sequel for it later on.

wow

So, just because Nintendo got hated in the past, we can't criticize it now? And I'm honestly not understanding how Nintendo is the victim. They've made tons of money with the console that everyone criticized, while Sony had huge losses with the console that everyone said it would be the future of gaming. So as you can see, words meant nothing, or better yet, words did nothing.

Then I think we agree lol Plus that's a great analogy. Even if the puppies mess up your house, you'll still think they're cute, so you won't mind. Just like Nintendo: even tho it might have (slight) flaws, everyone will still love 'em. All the OP said is that the puppies aren't as perfect as everyone say they are. And I agree with that, don't you?

Well, that went well...
