Why do developers act like Nintendo fans are obligated to buy their shitty games?

In the grounds of objectivity its a fairly easy statement to make. Name a game on XBLA or PSN as significant as Sonic The Hedgehog (though the genesis game is on both, i'm pretty sure)

You didnt say "significant" you said "out and out BETTER" games that is what im calling you out on. I could name quite a few games that are just as good or better than Sonic 1 on XBL & PSN. Stacking, Braid, Scott Pilgrim, Wait a tic, Sonic 1 is on XBL and PSN. On the grounds of objectivity... you dont really have any, you dont own a HD console so how would you know what they offer???

Objectivity is a market thing. Have these games, as a whole, registered better with consumers than Sonic the Hedgehog did in the past, or even have they registered better than the still-available Sonic does today?

That's objectivity, which i don't need to own a single game console or even know what the hell Braid, Stacking, Geometry Wars, Pixeljunk ____, Castle Crashers, Limbo, et. al are.

considering the state of SOnic today?? Id say yes they have, kinda hard to compare them since there are not much DL Sonic games, so in terms of sales who knows, but for sheer player feedback. Sonic just is not cutting it like he used too and this is coming from a fan

For your second point, i just wanted to know how do you know for a fact that those games on VC are better than games on the other services, if you have not played them. And no just looking at screenshots and youtube videos is not playing the game. How can you form an opinion on a matter if you only experienced half the situation?? And FYI there are some crap and meh games on VC as well its not all peaches and cream
