Majority of the people that do not like Nintendo's new console are people that already did not like Nintendo. That will never change. Just the same, the majority of the people that immediately flock to Nintendo's new idea are the same people that have been fond of Nintendo for years.
However, I do see the goal post moving done by so many people and yes, it is disturbing. This thread was not about people with legit concerns, this thread was started with hypocrisy in mind.
Someone said they do not want to support the fact that Nintendo has franchises that have been out for so long and demand new IP's but there are people out there that only play Nintendo consoles when the new Zelda or Mario arrives. I am looking at the 3DS right now as a prime example of that, mostly everyone I know waited until this week to get a 3DS because the new Zelda was coming out. Until then, they were content no having a console even though they knew the game would be coming out. Those franchises that people say Nintendo rehashes, are also franchises that some serious gamers want more and more of.
I understand Nintendo cannot please everyone, I know that no matter what Nintendo did, there would be people that would not buy into them, and I get that if your favorite company buys in and does the same thing, that will be ok with you, but when someone makes a topic calling out some of those people, do not try to flip thee argument. If you were one of the people that said, "Until Nintendo moves into this generation graphically, I will not be buying their product..." or something along those lines, then now you have no excuse. But those are some of the same people that have decided that now that Nintendo decided to do just that, they will find something new and not significant (no DVD playback, uses Wii remotes as well... whatever) and not related to their original gripes as, "legit" reasons not to buy the new console.
If you just dislike Nintendo and want nothing to do with their console, the just say that and move on with your life. But at a certain point, you must stand up, and accept that Nintendo is going to try to give the people that complain so much about Wii something to look forward to as well as serving their long time fans.
When Sony and Microsoft started outselling Nintendo, it was due to their consoles having new, "Nintendo-esque" hardware. Instead of seeing the people that bash Nintendo saying, "this is lame, our company is getting tons of casual sales and turning their back on the hardcore gamer..." what I see is a lot of, "about time..." and even some form of pride. Nintendo won this generation no matter which console you own because in thee end, it was Microsoft and Sony that had to adapt to Nintendo and not thee other way around.
