Shorter dudeee, usually tl:dr is one paragraph or less

That's impossible. There's too much information. That section is already too concise.

TL;DR: Nintendo was mean to third parties and gamers so they need to die.

That's not what is said. The OP doesn't tell anything about what must happen to them. And my personal opinion is that they just need to change their attitude for the better.

Well that's what I got from reading the text anyway just my personal TL;DR to help people get a grasp of the OP.

1. Harming Gamers...... that is total BS, if I spend my money on a game that I like, whether it be from MS, Sony or Nintendo I don't care where the profit goes. I care about the quality of game that I am playing, I choose what games I buy because of quality and replay value.

Sure you can find graphs and project them in any manner you deem necessary to fit your agenda, I don't care for that. Sounds like you're just singling out Nintendo on a bitter rant.

"32B$, that is Nintendo’s “debt” towards gamers as of 2011. 1.2B$ is the Sony’s “debt” as of 2010 but now it must be nothing. With Microsoft, it’s the opposite: gamers have a “debt” of 6.8B$ as of 2011."

Where did you pull that from!?! Gamers have a debt? We owe nothing to ms.

Oh boy, I'm not going to read the rest of this nonsense. This is basically the authors view, not exactly "The Truth" as the titles says.

"Nintendo was also the company that has contributed the most for game exclusives. Making any title from a 1st party studio to be exclusive, demanding every 3rd party NES game to be exclusive in the 3rd gen, making many of the 5th gen multi-platform to release a “64” version and buying exclusive rights for many games like no other company has done before (maybe, and only maybe Microsoft could have done something similar)."

Just scrolling through this mess it's easy to pint out the bias in this article. We get it, Nintendo and MS = bad for gamers.

You do know Sony has a ton of exclusives too. Great ones I might add. As a gamer, I only care for games, I buy all consoles because I LOVE video games. I don't care what people think about MS, Ninty or Sony. At the end of the day, I will play any good game on any system available. Nintendo, MS and Sony have provided me with tons of hours of great gaming and I will continue to support all three as long as they make consoles and games.



TLDR most of it, glossed over some of it.

He's basically claiming Nintendo has been abusing the gaming industry to make absurd profits at the cost of gamers and developers. It's mostly bullshit. He claims that because Nintendo has a profit margin unlike Sony and Microsoft that they should be ostracized from the gaming industry. Sony would be making money too if their games sold more than a couple million...

Nintendo is the only one who is actually trying to come up with a way of making money off of home consoles in the future. The other two know damn well this will probably be the last generation that this graphics model will work. Why do you think everyone was so convinced DRM was gonna be standard for all the consoles this generation.

Nintendo was really bad in the NES and SNES eras, that's true, but that's how the playstation came into power. Say what you want about Nintendo 20 years ago, but right now Sony and Microsoft are bankrupting developers left and right.

You're welcome. I really needed to gather all this information and post it in a thread. One of the greatest mysteries to me is why there still are so many people prasing Nintendo. I hope that with this people become more informed.
