Did Nintendo screw us?

I need a link on the Miyamoto quote.

Oh and don't worry, I'm getting flamed for MUCH MORE than just blaming Nintendo. Re-read the topic and you'll see.

Also, if I asked the question "Did 3rd parties screw us?" it wouldn't have been a discussion more than a resounding "YES! But just you wait..."

Outside of the PS1, which was a start-up console, what other major console, successful or not, had this bad third party support? Even Sega had better support with the Dreamcast, which was destined for failure. Third parties do not traditionally ignore major consoles unless they have a reason. The last time they had a reason was because of Nintendo and their blunder of decisions that resulted in the N64.

The Miyamoto quote is well-known. Also, 10 seconds' worth of Google turned up the quote and the fact that it's from a Newsweek interview. http://www.1up.com/do/newsStory?cId=3158427

You have not been flamed much if at all. Criticism (non-worship) of your arguments =/= flaming. (Well, I suppose it depends on how one defines "flaming". Some of the critiques are very harsh, but almost none deteriorate into namecalling and suchlike.)

So you deliberately made a misleading title to get attention? I think that's the definition of "troll". Or is it "flamebait"?

It's neither. I was responding to someone else who said the question should have been "Did third parties screw us?". I responded by saying, in my own way, that it wouldn't have been a discussion. I did not deliberately mislead the title to draw attention. I've actually supported the title by pointing the finger partly at Nintendo.

The reason I wanted the link was to see the date in which Miyamoto said the quote. It was after the Wii came along. It's a great thing to say, and obvious, but many of my points have to do with how Nintendo marketed the Wii, which predates the quote.

Fair enough.  It had seemed to me, since his criticism that you responded to boiled down to "you're complaining about third-party stuff not under Nintendo's control, so you should have accused them in the title instead of Nintendo", that you were replying "yeah, but if I'd given it that title it wouldn't have gotten much discussion". 

In fact, that is pretty much exactly what you said. I'm sorry that I misunderstood what you were trying to say but in my defense it was a really easy mistake to make given the text of your response and the context of his statement.
