So, just because Nintendo got hated in the past, we can't criticize it now? And I'm honestly not understanding how Nintendo is the victim. They've made tons of money with the console that everyone criticized, while Sony had huge losses with the console that everyone said it would be the future of gaming. So as you can see, words meant nothing, or better yet, words did nothing.

What the? What does Nintendo making money while Sony losing have anything to do with the topic in question?

Words mean nothing? That's what this whole damn thread is about!

Or, are you going on a different point, insinuating that the overrated Nintendo makes so much money, simply because people overlook their flaws and mindlessly buy their games?

If so, that's an entirely separate topic, and one more easily answered.


edit: Let me add that playing the victim card ("See, all the fanboys jump on me!") is childish. If want to be at least somewhat constructive, point out specifics: who it was, what was said, and why it is a problem.

Why do my posts always get misinterpreted? Is my english really that bad? >_>

Anyway, I was explaining to khuutra my point. If you take his post out of the conversation, it won't make any sense.

Okay so, he said (...)"If you are of the opinion that people shoud be able to hate on a company without baclash.... well, that's rather one-sided, now innit?" and what I was trying to say was: it doesn't matter that we criticize it on the internet. It won't make any difference. Did all the hate the Wii got on 2006 make any difference? Did it stop from selling millions? No, it did not. So I don't see any problems with the OP, pointing out flaws of the Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo in general. It isn't taking credit to Nintendo, he's just having a more realistic look. Or perhaps, most gamers are giving too much credit to Nintendo, and he's being more reasonable. He made the text pretty clear, so I won't even have to quote anything. Shouldn't have written "words mean nothing", that might be confusing.

And what victim card? I haven't been "attacked" or anything. I was just saying what I do in that kind of situations, I don't give a f when people don't try to see my point. In this case, some people aren't trying to understand the OP. Instead of arguing, they're just saying he's a fanboy. And that pisses me off.

THat is a ridiculous notion. People hav criticized Nintendo since the beginning, and continue to do so now. here is no current climate in which they can't be criticized. But if you don't want people to disagree with you, your only opiton is to not say anything. This is true in reference to discourse surrounding all companies.

I was being sarcastic on that bold part. But anyway... I'm not understanding this conversation. Nintendo deserves to be criticized, because they aren't perfect, and have many flaws to be winning this generation (IMO). I'm not saying Sony and MS are perfect just so we're clear. Read that puppies analogy lol

It doesn't matter that we hate on X company, except if you're an extremly influential person. Most casual gamers don't even come to the internet to check consoles, they're impulse buyers. What difference does it make that we laugh at Kinect? MS won't lose money, and besides that, any publicity is good publicity.

Oh, and if I say my opinion, then I'm obviously not expecting everyone to agree with me. But when other people don't even care to understand what I'm trying to say (not refering to you) then I just won't care. Same thing to the OP - "This guy isn't loving Nintendo... OMFGOSH HATER TROLL DIE!"

I haven't seen people attack the OP, rather what he stated, which can summarized as: "Nintendo is never criticized". Which is very, very, very wrong. Do I actually have to go look in forums or sites where Nintendo has been criticized and post hundreds of links that will prove this? I hope not. You've probably seen it too. I've seen people complain about Wind Wakers art style, not enough core games, not enough new IPs, not enough sequels to old games, etc.

We have heard the "Nintendo is dooomed" song for so many times it's no longer funny. Look at this video for example, look at the very end.

Has Nintendo made mistakes? Yes. Are people allowed to not like Nintendo? Yes. But to state that Nintendo is never criticized, that's just false.

I guess what I'm trying to say is that I see no reason for this thread. Nintendo gets a little love, because they showed things that excite people(mostly referring to journalists and forum goers here) and all of a sudden Nintendo is loved too much. The only point I see in this thread is that its trying to make people angry.

I criticize Nintendo alot, won't deny it, specially because I think I've said it on this thread lol But anyway, it's not random hate, it's because I have reasons to (check my previous posts). I don't want to talk for the OP, but I'm pretty sure he's refering to the current situation. And lately, no one can criticize Nintendo without getting hated. In fact, I didn't even know that children shouldn't use the 3DS, so as you can see, either the forums I usually go to fail at delivering information, or everyone is in love to 'em, 'cause if Nintendo actually said that during the E3, it isn't a small problem.

Even tho I'm interested in the 3DS, I can still see a couple of flaws on Nintendo. And the OP is right about pretty much everything. But then again, that's my opinion. And my opinion won't change anything on the gaming industry.
