Is there any doubt left about who was in the wrong on the Nintendo/EA fallout? Maybe now we wont be seeing anymore misguided EA supporters.
And yes, EA and probably activision are most likely behind this whole issue.

Points to Nintendo for having blocked them.

Nintendo Ball isn't even round.

Nintendo has always had balls since they always do the unexpected while the rest take the same road over and over again.

anyway Nintendo foresaw this and chose to go the alone path since they would get more support from the people as no one wants to pay more than once for a game that isn't even a full game!

People aren't talking about Nintendo because people don't care about Nintendo. If they cared, they'd talk about it. They care about Sony, thus they speak about Sony.

Who knows? Wii U + PC may be the best possible option in the coming Years.

Balls to U

Too many assumptions here:

Not pleasing third parties equals having courage.

Not considering that in the end Nintendo could adopt it.

Not considering that Sony could not implement it. The info of whether Sony has had the intention of implementing it is dubious we need to wait and see like we (or at least I) did for the Xbone.

Not considering that Micro and Sony could implement it for their own interest.

Micro did it all for EA.

EA dropped the DRM after seeing what Micro with by their own initiative were doing with the always online (every 24 hours) and used games restrictions. You can't dismiss this possibility.

EA just dropping DRM because of the backlash they've gotten for it, Micro's decision may not have been a factor to EA dropping DRM.

Nintendo not giving way to Origins as some sort of heroic take on gaming when they simply and most likely didn't want EA to have a big piece of the online cake. Just like how they didn't want Sony when they tried to make business with them to provide the CD format for their next console after Super Nintendo. I know you guys want to see Nintendo as the paladin's of gaming or something like that but gaming is for a great part a business.

That Nintendo has some special balls. Even if you think they have balls for this you posted, they would only have balls for certain things which makes the whole point just a particular discussion. For example, does Nintendo has the balls to go into this holiday and bundle WiiU with a Mature title like ZombieU? Like both Micro and Sony have done in previous years with their bundles?

its not necessary to Sony announce the same DRM as MS, to a sony fan (me) to defend some kind of DRM and "restricted-used-games". I also work on a company that develops software and i can relate to how hard is to build this massive code and see others profit from your work without giving you nothing from their profit. In my company we have a insane DRM system, to prevent others from using the SW our guys spend hours of days and nights to put together. Intellectual property is not something you can hold in your hand, its something that has no matter of physical form, so it has to be protected by special rules to prevent the corruption of the intended purpose of the creator.

if the DRM does prevent the end user of having a normal usage or does make your experience less worth, then i vote to remove it and deal with the consequences, because if you are good at creating a good game you should also be smart enough to implement a DRM system that just works without the user to lift a finger. But if you do have the skills to implement a good DRM, my vote is go for it. And MS is showing a so so DRM system. it should work better but besides the on-line requirement, i don't see nothing wrong with it. (if MS is smart they will use QR codes to do the activation of the game because numeral codes in a device with camera is so last millennium)

used games restriction is unpopular, yes i agree with you, but it doesn't make it wrong.

now about the balls... i think quite the opposite... IMO Nintendo didn't have the balls to implement this and deal with the bad press for being the first doing this... i think they were the ones breaking the deal with EA because of the "no balls". they thought this was a less loss for them, not a big steeping up for the gamers "rights"... not saying i am right and you are wrong, but either situation is possible for the outcome we have now... so you shouldn't come saying others are blind fanboys for not going running into nintendo arms...

Then you won't be buying anything.  Anyone who believes that Nintendo or Sony isn't as greedy as Microsoft is fooling themselves completely.

Honestly, I have no idea why some people look at Nintendo with rose-tinted glasses in this regard.  Nintendo is the company that once lost third party support because of greed.  They're the company that tried to rule the gaming industry with an iron fist and got shot down to Earth for it.  This is the company that had the arrogance to attempt to sell the 3DS at a massive, unprecedented profit, simply because they thought people would fall for it.

If Nintendo isn't supporting DRM, then it's a business and/or technical decision, not because they only care about making people happy.  

I just like to see my console as feminin... yuk.

Let it be clear that you don't know what consumers will do this gen... they might even boycot Ms and Sony for their drm... pretty assumptuous there. (but hey, everybody is assuming things these days so it don't matter i guess)

Mario gives you Balls
