IGN hates Nintendo

I'm ashamed for everyone who came into this thread agreeing with the OP. Your all silly people and your attatchment to Nintendo is both funny and awkward at dinner parties. Please take off your tin foil hats and maybe try and break out of the state of mind that everything thats said about Nintendo is  bad and that none of the other HD consoles ever get any criticism. You'd think people would remember all those negative PS3 articles that were being released on a weekly basis prior to 2010 or the amount of negativity the Western media continous to throw on to the PSP. They don't hate Nintendo, they just have news to write, opinions to give and reviews to roll out. 

If anyone on here actually listened to podcasts, then they'd realise that most of the people at IGN and their subsidary, Gamespy, have an undying love for anything related to Nintendo. I actually stopped listening during the second half of 2010 because they wouldn't shut up about Kirby, Metroid, Donkey Kong and some other Wii games.

Lulz and which podcast was that?  It sure isn't game scoop, podcast beyond, or podcast unlocked. 

And just about every western game media outlet had the PSP as the better device and set to take the handheld throne at launch, they truly couldn't wrap their heads around the DS until later, only a few were there from the start like IGNs own Matt, Mark, and Craig, whom I might add have all left IGN within a year of each other.

And the PS3 praise started before 2010 the "bashing" was usually over load times, price, inferior versions of multiplats, and lack of games in general.  That trend quickly stopped when the PS3 price went down, they improved the controller, started having installs, and Sony kept lowering the license fee when they saw that the PS3 wasn't going to be like the PS2 and they needed incentives for third parties to come develop for them.

Basically here's the jist doobie, IGN "bashes" the PS3 because the system didn't have many exclusive titles and it has long load times, IGN bashes Nintendo when they dock points on the 3DS because of the eventual redesign that doesn't exist yet and then writes multiple editorials about Nintendo being lazy, NSMB Wii was inferior to an XBLA game, Nintendo overuses Mario, Daemon Hatfield goes on Game Scoop and flat out sounds like an ignorant cuss talking about the Wii, etc.  I really never saw articles from sources like IGN go "Sony didn't have a great launch lineup, they're lazy", "Little Big Planet doesn't have as good platforming as Mario", "Sony over uses characters like Ratchet and Clank", it just didn't happen.
