I was kind of thinking how the Miiverse thing is a pretty great idea but reading stuff like this kind of changes my mind somewhat. All I can picture now is something like Mr. Rodger's puppet world.

User1: Mario is really nice.
User2: Yes, he's very nice.
User3: I think he's nice, too.
*everyone nods in sync with smiles that never reach their eyes*

Me: Eh. I think he's kind of lame
*A man in a sweater places his hand on my shoulder. He smiles and steers me to a back room*

*a few hours later*
Me: I also think Mario is nice.
*frozen smile*

It's scary. I'm not sure I want any part of it. This is going to be like being pushed into cold water for a lot of the 'core' market Nintendo seems to want back. I understand kind of why they're being this way but I'm not sure they can have both worlds.

Hopefully they'll tone it down as the console gets a broader audience and as Nintendo gets more feedback and more familiar with this new setup.
