Did Nintendo drop the ball this gen?! *Video*

I suggest you watch it, because with the exception that he doesn't know shit about when Nintendo consoles launched with a system seller it's a good watch with valid points. And he's no fan boy. He insisted for the longest of time that PS720 would only be a minor upgrade over the Wii U - and not leaving it in the dust as it seems likely right now.

I watched the whole thing, but know that this was the last time I trusted you. The bolded is exactly what makes him a fanboy. Or an idiot. Make your pick.

About his only valid point is that Nintendo messed up with the Wii U, but anyone could tell you that after seeing the sales numbers. His suggestions for solutions come down to "Nintendo should have made another GameCube" and this is a clear indicator for idiocy. How did hardware parity work out for the GC? Third parties started to abandon the thing after a couple of years, provided they were making games for it in the first place.

He also said: "If Nintendo had made an HD Zelda for launch, they would have an installed base of 10-15m." - Another indicator for strong fanboyism or severe brain damage, because he is suggesting that people who have no interest in Zelda would have bought the system as well. And he seemed to be talking like he meant 10-15m right now.

This video is pretty much the reason why I don't watch videos. With articles you can quickly jump to other points once you notice that you are dealing with drivel. With videos and podcasts you are doomed to wait and hope that there might be one good point buried somewhere.

In what way would this make him a fan boy? I don't really see how this would make him a fan boy... A Nintendo fan boy? Is that what you're talking about?

And I really do agree that making a new GC wouldn't be a smart move, but we gotta remember that Wii U is no Wii either. And I do think the system would have sold better if it had launched with a Zelda title instead of NSMBU.
