I'm not a hypocrite. I have stated in several threads that "It used to be Nintendo or Sega, and now it's Nintendo or nothing." (I don't trust non-gaming companies in the gaming business.) I have only paid for Nintendo systems, and when the GameCube only had maybe 20 games I wanted instead of 75+ like most Nintendo systems, I simply... played StarCraft for 6 years. It's ... my way of the ninja.

 

Holy shit that's like what I did all during the GC/PS2/Xbox era, it was like "this gen is boring the only good console games I've liked and tried to be creative has been a few third parties on PS2 and Nintendo on Gamecube" and then played Starcraft for 6 years until Wii came along.

 

Don't trust "non-gaming" companies in the gaming business.  Hm.  Well Microsoft had made some games before entering the market, but I see what you mean, and think that has been a part of my decisions as well.  These HUGE and well known companies come into the industry and start playing with developers choices.  Almost feels like the industry was taken away from us and then Nintendo won it back.  If we look at the history of their entrances though, in many ways they were sort of invited in, so I cannot be untrusting of them on that basis alone.  However, if you look at all the PR spin, lies, and manipulation they have done in the years that they have been a part of the industry, that is what keeps me on Nintendo's side.

Again, I say, in Sony and MS cases, I love the games and sometimes the developers (not for their frivalous pig-headed business decisions), but dislike the manufacturers.
