Nintendo was silly to not follow MS and Sony on achievements/trophies.
Those who don't like it can simply ignore it. But it adds something extra for those who enjoy it - more hardcore achievement/trophy hunters will go really far getting their goals - such as buying more games for the same platform, or buying more DLC, being more online.
"Optional" as Nintendo said is NOT nearly enough. What's the fun in that? What if my favorite game does not get achievements? Every game has to have achievements for it to work, and it has to be a console/account wide system.
