so its justifiable for nintendo to make promises  ( that as you say may sway customer interest ) and then never deliver on them... 

so if i went into a shop tommorow and bought a wii expecting that the peripheral that i saw in a big nintendo announcement would eventually add to my gaming experience but it never happens

is comparable to sony not mentioning other os in any ads or announcements except on a few sites affilitated with linux and a couple interviews lol

edit: the thing is i don't even get how i got this far into a discussion about other os advertising as there actually wasn't any give me a sticker on the console or the box or a tv announcement and i'd agree with you but i don't consider stuff like siny's slogan for their time in the industry and a couple interviews to qualify as advertising for a major feature


Nope. I'd call you stupid for buying a console before the release of the peripheral you were seeking.

Once again, OtherOS was THERE. It had already released. Had this been a peripheral that Nintendo put on the market and took away later, I;d be equally as pissed.

Also, the whole advertising thing does come with conditions. One of those prohibits "misleading" but that's only on the case that, in terms of Kinect features, they never released a press statement that the features were taken away, so you bought it expecting those features to be included.

See how it works?
