Nintendo has proven that they listen when the fanbase complains, usually, the issue is that most of the complaints are stuff that is far more daunting to overcome than the complaints leveled against Sony or Microsoft. Some of it was take-it-or-leave-it, like the lack of HD or the poor online system, but Nintendo fixed many things: like the SD Storage Solution, eventually putting motion plus in Wiimotes, and they have shown flexibility in regards to online, though that's entirely been take on by third parties. We also know Nintendo is slow to respond if they respond at all, and so are more willing to make do. Objectively, this is indeed terribly unfriendly to consumers, but i for one have been perfectly content
Die-hard Nintendo fans have lived in a siege mentality for decades, and we've had the "screw third parties" idea bolted in since third parties said "screw you" to us over the last 15 years or so, and then sit back and watch as the third parties consistently underperform in the financial sector (the last few years have been especially gratifying)
So i don't love the hate, i just love when the haters get their due comeuppance
Monster Hunter: pissing me off since 2010.
