Some of the paranoid logic in this thread is unbelievable.
Any criticism directed toward Nintendo becomes "hate". Any speculation that isn't positive about Nintendo is, apparently, "wanting them to fail". It's ridiculous and childish. ONE BLOODY GUY at 4A Games said the Wii U had a horribly slow CPU and suddenly we have a thread full of people cheering because their publisher, THQ, went out of business. Seriously? That's petty and sad.
This persecution complex is getting out of hand. For good or bad, Nintendo is where they are at because of their own decisions. Customers don't have to buy, or even like, Nintendo. Publishers and developers don't have to support Nintendo if they think they have better options elsewhere. Nintendo is not entitled to these things.
I read what Cliff Bleszinski and, even though I disagree with him, I see nothing about hate for Nintendo. I see speculation based on the direction of the market but nowhere does he indicate that Nintendo going software only is something that he wants.
This hyper-defensiveness is edging over into crazy-land.
