Its strange to read some of these responses, I'm sure most of you won't believe it but back in the n64/ GC era I would probably have fit the description of nintendo fanboy pretty well. It wasn't until this generation I started to enjoy sony over nintendo. Of course, before any of this it was me and my genesis against the world. But all of this is besides the point. My point in this thread was to question why nintendo can get a free pass on their mistakes. There is unjustified criticism of all game developers, and nintendo has gotten its fair share- some would say more than its fair share. I wasn't trying to sweep that under the rug or in a bubble oblivious to it, I brought it up in my opening post. The difference is, when sony or MS or any one else is criticized - and the criticism is justified- most people agree they made a mistake. For example, sony announces ps3 for 599 usd. Obviously too expensive. Besides a few people who might say that it has a blu-ray player or something along those lines to justify it, most people will come to consensus that sony screwed up, sony fans included. But when a justifiied criticism of nintendo comes up, their poor third party relations for instance, its not their fault. Its the third parties, its money hatting from sony and MS. People refuse to accept that nintendo brought a lot of those problems on itself with its restrictions and harsh regulating of third parties in the N64 and GC era. Thats where I take issue. Thats why I made this thread. 

You realize admitting you were a fanboy doesn't help you right?  The very fact is being one means you've got an irrational love for something, meaning you're basically being immature about things and like so have illogical thoughts on subjects which hurts your credibility.

As for the other rubbish, Rhonin did a pretty good job from the point you've got your facts wrong to the point that people that stick to one company will always defend it and say the company can do no wrong, hell you bring up the 599 thing Sony fans defended that saying Sony was cutting the consumer a deal... this thread, the reasons you're coming up with, it's all pretty pathetic and missing the real mark, if you're actually pissed about this you should be getting on the cases of everyone that tries to make "their" company look good even when they do something stupid.
