It's pretty obvious when you look at the amount of articles journalists write about Nintendo being doomed, irrelevant, or whatever.  Sony is only getting that now because the PS Vita is doing really poorly and has been for over a year now.  The 3DS and Wii U got it from the start.


And yet these doomedz articles completely stopped for the 3DS. Why is it hard to accept that when a bad system is released it will get flack regardless of if it was sony, nintendo, or microsoft. 

They stopped because no one in their right mind would call the 3DS doomed now.  It continued until the 3DS became the top selling system World Wide.

Also, the 3DS and Wii U are NOT bad systems.  If you are going to call them bad systems, then obviously you will not see the bias because you think it's true.  And another thing is that the 3DS got "doomed" from even before it got released. The PS Vita was apparently going to sell really well according to the same journalists.  They didn't really start doing Vita doomed articles in mass until several months down the line (about the time the 3DS gained momentum).  Wii U also got many "doomed" articles.  One in particular I remember was Kotaku.  They are definitely biased against Nintendo.


Some places are biased against Sony, or Microsoft... but by far, most places you will see are overly negative about Nintendo.  They keep saying things like "Nintendo doesn't know what it's doing" and "Nintendo should go 3rd party" etc.  
Which are dumb things to say.  If you look at their track record, it's pretty good as a business.  At least better than Sony and Microsoft's gaming departments.
