How bout this:
Without Galaxy, what is the Wii, to someone like me?
In generations to come, when the high tide mark is clearly visible, and the massive but finite blue ocean is spread evenly over evergrowing competition, won't Nintendo still be glad they made ME happy?
I am, without a doubt, a long time Nintendo fan, who spends thousands of dollars on Nintendo merchandise every year.
Would you risk alienating me, for a short bump in Japan that you don't really need?
The Nintendo brand sells well, but don't be fooled. The Nintendo brand doesn't prioritize sales, it never has. It prioritizes its userbase casuals and core alike, and sales accumulated. With Galaxy, Nintendo told me, yes Josh, you are still a member of our userbase.
Thank you Nintendo, for not bastardizing a real Mario game, in the interest of profit and popularity. Instead be proud of your work. I will respect you for it, and we, afterall, are in this together.
...and you know what? They just announced the sequel.
Also, why take anyone seriously who doesn't like 3D Mario games? One, that means his argument is biased, and two, that means he doesn't like some of our favorite games. Commenting on the market, and commenting on videogames are two entirely different things. The market changes, the core fans never have.
I don't need your console war.
It feeds the rich while it buries the poor.
You're power hungry, spinnin' stories, and bein' graphics whores.
I don't need your console war.
NO NO, NO NO NO.
