What are you accomplishing by ridiculing each other?

Come now, you should be more honest.  A large part of the flak Nintendo takes has more to do with some of its fans than with the company, so I've added that in for you.  I mean, really, imagine if Nintendo didn't have to deal with the Tin-foil Hat crew, the Platform Elitists, and the Hyper-Defensive front?  I imagine it would be a lot more appealing for some.

Of course, the same thing could be said about any of the console manufacturers, like it or not.  The first real taste of fanboys I had was with the original Xbox "h4l0 h4z l33t gr4phx" crowd, followed by the "PS3 is worth $600" team.

Hey now... Don't forget about the PC elitist.

Hmm, yes, you're right.  At the time, I was into PC games and WoW, so my memories are probably a bit biased.  I remember that I wanted to get back into console gaming, going into various forums to learn more about the different consoles, and leaving with the thought, "these people are crazy."
