I don't think you're gonna get flamed. But I do disagree that PS3 got just as much heat as the Wii. I don't even think it was close. PS3 only got bad press when in it's first couple of years ($599 US dollars, ports that weren't as good as the 360 version, the early Yahoo doom articles). Wii got all of that stuff all throughout its ENTIRE lifespan. And editors would write pieces about the Wii and would be outright trolling, it was really bad. |
I remember IGN had an article titiled "Nintendo is lazy and we don't care" back in 2009. It was basically bashing nintendo gamers for liking wii games although they did not have top of the line graphics. Imagine bashing gamers for liking a game, really BASHING GAMERS FOR LIKING A GAME, and this was written on the nintendo section by the "gaming journalist" their (although I think they left shortly after) and was posted as a top article on their main page.
Before that I never really posted anything on the internet defending nintendo, but after that I lost all respect for major gaming sites. Its like I suddenly saw the light and all the negative media nintendo was getting. And yes from then on everytime I hear someone spew crap about nintendo I feel the need to correct them at least. Not saying everything they do is good, hell I hated the way they presented the wiiu at E3 and would defefinetly not defend that, but other bias and uninformed decisions about them gets me.
