How so? I actually found a lot of the replies incredibly interesting. A fair bit of people are embarassed of doing something that there logically is no reason to be embarassed about. A vast amount of people play and enjoy Mario games - heck, it looks to be well over 1/4 people looking at the franchises' sales this gen. So why are we embarased about it? Lynx idea that it comes from Sony/Sega (and to an extent, others) marketing is intriguing. Even people who love Nintendo games have, by advertisements, been lead to believe that they shouldn't.
I'm pretty bloody amazed that I've actually been fooled by those advertisements. From a psychology viewpoint, it's incredibly interesting.
But sure, go ahead. Feel free to call it "one of the dumbest threads ever", because frankly, you'll just fall into the (surprisingly large) group of silly replies that I really should ignore.
This thread is also interesting on another level, as it nicely sums up the reasons I semi-stopped posting here.
