If you want to abandon Nintendo, that's your prerogative. But make no mistake: it is you who are abandoning Nintendo, through your excessively narrow tastes and refusal to examine what the marketers don't tell you to buy. Nintendo is not abandoning you or anyone else.
But whatever. Have fun with your FPS of the month, for whatever short time is left that your crowd can sustain a console by itself.
Complexity is not depth. Machismo is not maturity. Obsession is not dedication. Tedium is not challenge. Support gaming: support the Wii.

What do I hate about modern gaming? I hate tedium replacing challenge, complexity replacing depth, and domination replacing entertainment. I hate the outsourcing of mechanics to physics textbooks, art direction to photocopiers, and story to cheap Hollywood screenwriters. I hate the confusion of obsession with dedication, style with substance, new with gimmicky, old with obsolete, new with evolutionary, and old with time-tested.
There is much to hate about modern gaming. That is why I support the Wii.
