With excception of the Wii-U, I have every Nintendo console and handheld that they've MADE. Having been born in 1979, I AM the Nintendo generation. My entire childhood was the NES/SNES. But you know what? None of that can alter reality.
Nintendo is back where it was during the Gamecube years. I remember it clearly, as I stood in line over night to get one at launch, and spent the following years watching it get mocked by core gamers to no end. Everyone loved the Gameboy, but the Gamecube? Lame and kiddy. That's what Nintendo WAS. It seems like the younger generation has this weird, altered view about them due to the Wii and DS's success where they think Nintendo was and will always be kings. But that just isn't the case. In all my life, which spans the ENTIRE modern console industry, Nintendo only had two dominant consoles (NES and Wii). The SNES took 3 and a half YEARS too over take the Genesis, and only did so thanks to DKC and Sega's shift towards the Saturn. So the facts are, Nintendo's console's have been less popular than not.
Fanboys, of ALL kinds, are the most ignorant and blinded people on earth and this thread is just more proof of it. I mean, when you're going to start arguing company profit? Unless you own stock in them, there's no point. It's just pathic and desperate.
