Would you be a Nintendo fan if Mario had never existed?

No, just tired of this.  I hate this whole, massive butt-hurt thing with Nintendo fanboys if you say the slightest thing negative about Mario, then you have to deal those rushing to attack, like you with this meaningless post which adds nothing at all to the discussion.  I know I'm not going to win against a whole hord of you because it will never end.  So you want to come in at the tail end to keep the fight going?  And you think that's mature?  Hah.

When you say ridiculous crap like "new IPs don't sell hardware", you have to expect to be called out on it.

You know, I was wrong about that, and normally I would have responded to his post and said so but instead of simply saying I was wrong and explaining why, he decided to be an ass.  Why, when I hadn't even said anything to him?  I can only assume he was angry with me for being mean to Mario, too.

What about you?  What's your reason?
