oh please, PS3 got just as much negative attention in the start as Wii did. I'll give you that in the end PS3 got alot less, but why is that?? Is it really hate for Ninty and love for SOny? i dont buy that, IMHO and i know im going to get flamed for this. SOny tried to improve their situation. PSN sucked when it came out, its in a much better place now.  WiiWare?  That service is just as crappy now as it was back when it started, hell its probably worst since VC releases are way more infrequent

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.

I remember and i agree to a certain extent with IGN, the thing about Mario is you can lob the some of the same complaints about that to COD.

I do feel Ninty was being a bit lazy, lazy is a strong word, ill say complacent and half assed the Wii abit. Why was the motion control tech so crappy from the offset? Why did it take so long to get motion+, was wasnt it that accurate from day 1? Why dont they support their peripehials?? Hell why are a few of those devices sucky(looking at you Wiispeak) why is the online so bad?? Why was their no improvements? Was it lazines? Or lack of competance?

 I can agree to the bolded but that was not the main point of the article (or even in it for that matter) the thing is it focused on 1 game in particular nsmbwii. Did it really need to be a headline on their site? They could have done it in a blog and I would have had no problem with it.
