Sony has better salesmen

I'm referring to something different, Rol. Not the gamers' disappointment after Ninty failed to deliver, but the flip flopping. Calling wiiu innovative, insane number of posts about nintendomination, buying Ninty stocks, and praising the tablet and then constantly saying how terrible the tablet is and that there should be a new model without it. Do you think that if sales were at wii levels, people wouldn't be praising Ninty for their innovation? The wii didn't have that many great games at first, but did well because of the motion controls. My point is that the wiiu was embraced by vgchartzers, juts like Sony fans praised several Sony products including the ps3 before they came out. Similarly, both fanbases criticize a product after it is released. No fanbase as a whole is better than the other. Neither fanabase hypes things more than the other.

I don't see how what you are talking about is different from what I was talking about. Product gets revealed, is thought of to be a good idea, product releases and underperforms, then gets criticized or swept under the rug. If the product performs well, all is good naturally.

The starting point of this entire discussion was initial reactions to product reveals. In regards to that, all fanbases aren't equal. Certainly not Sony and Nintendo. Did Sony fans piss on The Last of Us when it was revealed? Because Nintendo fans treated Super Mario 3D World and Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze that way. In all three cases, there should be no reason to doubt the developers' ability to deliver a quality product, but the reactions differed.

To add to this, Xbox fans for example are increasingly criticizing Halo games when they are announced. Maybe its because Bungie left but there certainly isn't a universal embracing of Halo games like there used to be.
