Theres really no reason to hate nintendo, except if you're a fanboy. I used to be a SEGA fanboy so i know the feel.
But, today i see clearly. Nintendo is actually the greatest hope there is in the game industry because they keep trying new things instead of engaging in costly graphical power wars that in the end dont bring much benefit. Especially this next gen, the difference will be less noticeable than ever.
The only crux i see is that their fans do want to see their games in HD, but thats what they are doing with the Wii U. Zelda in HD is definitly something to look forward to.
