For all the fluff you throw around we are still on different note and you are still missing the only thing I was trying to point out.

So again in a few words and simple sentence, this way it just might get through:

Sony - 3D - gimmick. Nintendo - 3D - awesome.

I'm not talking about business strategy, proper time to deploy given technology to masses, the right way to do it. Or which company's approach is dumb and which is smart. But the general idea that 3D was a gimmick, till Nintendo said it's in their future.

But you are right, I've used hypocrisy in the wrong context, as the correct word there would be simply fanboy.

Show me the people who decried one as a gimmick and then praised the other out the other side of their mouths. After you do that, I' still going ot remind you that you are generalizing.

Now, which perspective comes down to "fanboy", here? Individuals who say gimmick and then awesome would be hypocrites.

I'm not going to pick up individuals as I can't be bothered to go back and search the forums, writing down names, I'll just generalize... The "voice" of the "masses" of Nintendo fans here made U-turn after the announcement.

I'm not sure if hypocrite is the right word for this situation, as we are talking individuals who's mind is easily swayed by propaganda, it's closer to religious fanatic, worshiping his diety in the presence of business company. So I think that fanboy would be the correct term.



MY HYPE LIST: 1) Gran Turismo 5; 2) Civilization V; 3) Starcraft II; 4) The Last Guardian; 5) Metal Gear Solid: Rising
