Err... you know this is a forum right? He's supposed to respond and debate, especially if he disagree with the OP assessment.

Except he's arguing against subjective, opinionated matter, which only makes HIM look like the fool, not the OP.

 

I'll say it agan, there's several reasons why people buy Nintendo consoles, and "3rd party support" is not one of them.

That's not the way I interpreted his comments. He took exception to the fact that the OP claims Nintendo fans have better taste than other gamers. He disagreed but fell short of making the opposite, subjective claim.


Oh no! How dare he think like that with his subjective opinion! This calls for a public lynching!

I'll put it this way. Do you disagree to the fact that 3rd parties have dumped shovelware on Nintendo consoles in the past?

Not sure what relevance that has to do with the point people are making. No one's lynching him either, it's a debate. People disagree, give their viewpoint on his post and he has the opportunity to respond. If it's all within the rules then there's no problems as far as I can see.

Before I answer your question, how do you define shovelware? Some of the games people define as shovelware have actually sold fairly well. 

That's actually a good point, and one of the reasons why I believe third parties treat Nintendo users in such a way. 

For instance, a company releases a game that was probably cheap to develop, and releases it to pretty big sales. Other third parties see this and think "$", so attempt to emulate the same thing. However, all it does is give them a bad reputation on the console, and future releases by said publisher are generally questioned by purchasers.

Not all games that were made on the cheap can be big hits, some just got lucky and hit what the market was looking for at the time. However if some 3rd parties attempt to follow suit and don't get the same sales, they should not be blaming the consumer. They read the market completely wrong.
