noname.. everyone, including Nintendo, is an asshole every once in a while.

Oh, Nintendo's always been kind of an a**hole, and likely always will be. But recently, they've been above this kind of crap, and I was hoping it would stay that way.

Well this is highly disappointing. I thought they were above that sort of behavior now...=^/

It's just a bit bragging for the stockholders. I'm sure you wil find it in other financial reports.

But there is some truth in their words. Nintendo's Ip's are one of the best franchises in the world. If i owned them, i would boast about them to everyone.

You won't even have to look in financial reports: Sony's and Microsoft's executives have routinely made idiotic statements like these without prompting. And I whole-heartedly agree that Nintendo's IPs are overall the best in the world, which is why I keep buying all their products.

But there's a fine line between bragging about how awesome you are, and indirectly slinging mud at the competition. I feel that they crossed the line this time, and while it's hardly the end of the world (it's more a throwback to the Yamauchi days, if anything), I have to admit that I'm still disappointed that they lowered themselves like this. I was hoping that at least one of the big three would try to take the high road and act like an adult.

 

P.S. Welcome to the site! I just noticed that you're new.

Sorry, I love Nintendo but that is just complete bullshit.

I thought Nintendo was better than this.

Agreed in full.

 

There is no company in the world that is SUCCESSFUL that doesn't trash talk in some way. It is nature of the business and will always be. Just be happy Nintendo does it only occasionally.
