But we (the guys on the other side) want you to start caring about hardware specs, graphics quality, online features, game lineups and sales. We want you to join the war.

So that we can beat you.

This thread makes no sense to me. I can't even tell if it is pro Nintendo or Anti Nintendo.

Also remove the we. You don't speak for me whatever this thread may be about.

So a thread only makes sense to you if the TC is for or against something?

And someone can only use the term "we" when you consider yourself a member of the party?  Are you the type of person who gets mad at reviewers who don't start every sentence with, "In my opinion,...."

What games are offered on the console and the price are the biggest deciding factors for me to buy a system, so sort of :p

I'm with Bandorr on this, I buy Nintendo hardware, but very much for the specs of the machines, the N64 and GC were powerhouses of their time, even the SNES could run circles around the megadrive in some areas (audio/having Doom) I was even sort of happy when games like Smash Brawl and Smash 4 included an achievements wall because in line with the other consoles it was Nintendo bringing their game up to spec really.

I'm afraid in recent times as more and more of the things listed in OP have appeared on other hardware and Nintendo seems to be lost, especially in the area of an online store with cross buy between 3ds and Wii/U or even having to pay to regain access to the virtual console games on the Wii-U again, that shit just doesn't hold up when both MS and PS have very good cross buy functionality over their consoles.

as for "

If there's a game from the competition that is graphically superior, use voice chat and sells better, what we do? we don't care"

I mean, that to me is where I'm out the door, you can't just close your eyes to the other options which exist, if rival systems have better looking more feature filled games... why in the world would anyone not consider purchasing the hardware to play that instead.

I love me some Nintendo, but I would hope the OP is just using the royal We :)

Tell that to those who don't want Nintendo to go 3rd party. If liking their games is your only reason then you shouldn't care whether they're 3rd party or not because the games will still be there...

How would you know if Nintendo would maintain their game output as a 3rd party game company? We have Sega nowadays, so it's a valid reason to fear that scenario.

Firstly because I actually have confidence in Nintendo's ability as developers. If other companies can exist perfectly fine as 3rd parties then surely Nintendo can too unless they are simply not good enough at their jobs.

And secondly, I think Sega today is actually an improvement over the Sega that made consoles.

Just on this, I would agree, Sega were not third party when they created the disasters that were the 32X, Mega CD, Saturn and for the most part the Dreamcast. As well as any software they did bother to make for them.

Just saying, Sega went bad long before they went third party.

We - who? By just saying "we" you are including everyone. If someone said "We men believe all women should stay in the kitchen" - I would absolutely not want to be included in that we.

No you are not including everyone by saying "we." You are being vague, but you are in fact only including those who you intend to represent. Look at your expample. You said, "We men...". That is specifying a specific group. I wouldn't want to be included in that group, and I would be offended. I would be offended if someone said, "We blacks", or "We heterosexuals", or "We gamers." Because I then know that I am being misrepresented.

Also the TC only makes sense - if he makes sense. What is the context or point of the story? I couldn't find that.

So if this is "We nintendo fans" then I don't want to be in that group either. He could have gone with "I" or "my friends" or "some peoples I have talked to" to  create a group of people. To just start off with "we" is just strange.

I agree with this, but he didn't say "We Nintendo fans." I'm as big a Nintendo fan as anyone, but I didn't feel like the TC was speaking for me, because he could have represented another group.

As for people that say "in my opinion" it depends. "I find the playstation 4 to be garbage" is very different than "The playstation 4 is garbage". One is clearly an opinion, and the other is someone trying to make it a fact.

I get your point. I guess I see both statements as clear opinions. Someone who is trying to make such a statement as fact would say something along the lines of "Everyone knows the Playstation 4 is garbage," or "There's no changing the fact that the PS4 is garbage." But I'm not saying you're wrong, because like I said, that is just my interpretation and my opinion.

Personally I agree with a lot of the points in the OP, but for me, Nintendo's extremely hostile pricing has killed any chance of me getting Nintendo anything. I adore a lot of the stuff Nintendo does, but the pricing just trumps it all for me. And it's not that everything costs a lot initially, it's that everything seems to cost a lot even if you wait for a really long time. I don't mind waiting, but I won't if there's no point to it.

Just my two cents that are almost related to the topic.
