I disagree. Microsoft doesn't have fans.

i consider myself a nintendo fanboy.
ive played more than 700h of games this year. 20h of sony games, 150h of ubisoft games, and 500h of nintendo games.
for me, mario 3d world, mk8, dkctf, rayman legends and zelda WWHD are better than sony's tlou, but pikmin 3, and nsmbu are not better than tlou.
i dont care about fzero, star fox, luigis mansion, most mario sports, party,rpgs. but i trully love zeldas, dk, metroid, 3d marios.
and now xenoblade.
in my ps3, i still want to play ninokuni, tomb raider, dark souls series, but the priority is way below nintendo games. no interest for a ps4 now.

am i a nintendo fanboy?

Nintendo fans bother me because they are blind (or just don't care) to the fact their company hasn't developed a new IP with an 80+ metascore in the past 11 years. The last two games that fit in this category were Pikmin and Animal Crossing which were 2001-2002. Seriously why don't Nintendo fans demand new games? We all know Mario and Zelda kick ass but wouldn't you like a better catalogue of games to compliment the those series? It really baffles me how they say nothing, and don't jump ship...or just keep a Wii/Wii U as a back up system for when a new Mario comes out.


No, they havent made a new AAA ip. Big difference.

That's what I said, a new IP. And I clarified it as an 80%+ game.

You should take a look at Metacritic. It will open your eyes for who the blind one is.


What did I miss? I'm talking about new IP's here, not the 100 mario games that automatically got 90's because the word Mario is there.

What? They have made several new IPs that have an 80% or more on Metacritic... Do you know what an IP is?

So according to you all Mario games only get good reviews because of Mario in the title?? Interesting.

So Mario Galaxy only got good reviews because of its title according to you. Wow.

I personally don't see much difference between the fanboys (i.e., the most extreme fans) within each fanbase. Whether it's the over-excited, over-hyping fan, the quick-to-anger, defensive fan, the snarky, passive-aggressive fan, the conspiracy theory fan, the elitist, or so on, each fanbase has more than its share of variety in fanatics.

Unfortunately due to bias, we all tend to see what we want to see in others, and ignore what we don't want to see in our own preferred groups.

THIS POST RIGHT HERE GETS IT!!!!! 100% agree here with everything. Come to think about it...it's irrefutable as well. LOL
