Not necessarily. They might have a perfectly logical rationale for saying what they do. But, i dont see how other nintendo fans wich are getting unfairly grouped with said people can be expected to answer for them. Its a gross generalisation.

Like what?

Elaborate

You're asking me to prove an opinion?

I mean the apparent impact that cinematics/violence/graphics has on gameplay. You don't have to prove that the direction is wrong. Just demonstrate that it exists, which shouldn't be up to opinion.

I see alot of features i doubt Sony or MS would even look into. They just supply the Systems while they let the 3rd party handle the rest. Look at the PS controller and how it evolved. It evolved everytime Nintendo brough out a new controller. I am not saying it would never have came out but i could say i dont believe Sony or MS would have been the ones to think of it. Nintendo acclearates the industry, it brings these features to the table. If it wasnt for them we could still be waiting on some of these feautures.

PS Move would never come out if it wasnt for the Wii Remotes.

Every controller on the market has something to do with Nintendos controllers, even the Xbox with its A B X Y button layout.

Even there games follow Nintendos. Like LBP Karting and PS Allstars (Mario Kart, Smash Brothers) to Xbox Fittness (Wii Fittness) and Kinect Sports (Wii Sports). Look at the Gameboy and PSP to 3Ds to Vita. Nintendo leads the way when it comes to ideas, without them we will be in a slow industry.

Overlong cutscenes detract from the gameplay because it's time that should be spent playing. Graphics can distract from gameplay because time and money that could have been spent on advancing the gameplay is instead spent on some giant pointless particle fountain to put in the background of a scene, or trying to squeeze as many polygons as possible into every character model.

They've never played any other good games so don't realize that while classic Nintendo games were amazing, current and last gen Nintendo games have been average to above average, but not amazing.  They assume if Nintendo games are doing worse, then everything else has got to be doing worse. 

As someone who's played extensively on Xbox 360 last gen, I'd put Nintendo's Wii efforts up with the all time greats.

Then again, I'm not claiming the industry is dying. (Just getting stale)

it will die for me. Nintedo equals games to me. No nintendo games means I wont play anything else (well maybe some tetris during toilet time) thus the industry dying for me.

Analog sticks: Were on PC for a long time, and the PlayStation Analog Joystick before Nintendo released the N64 controller.
Real Time 3D: haha.  Pretty sure the PC, Atari Jaguar, and 3D0 had those.
Touch Screen Controls: haha.  I suppose all those smart phones & tablets had no influence.

Wait, I see you mean "Nintendo was the 1st to copy something someone did already and put it in a console"?
