Ironic.

One question: Which company is the only company to have nickled and dimed gamers since the beginning, profiting from them? Which companies have barely even profited despite great sales? There's clearly one company that cares only about profit while the others care about gamers.

If Nintendo gave a shit about gamers they wouldn't have made the WiiU. Look at how they thought everyone would run out and spend $299 on a freakin WiiU

I still can't figure out if this is a joke, no matter how often I read it. There's a chance you actually believe that businesses who don't profit care about gamers while in reality they are just bad at business.

So what is it being good at business? Demanding always the same price for a console that costs less and less to produce as time goes by? Demanding always the same price for a game that has decreasing sales along the time? Blackmailing retailers with artificial game shortages or making them to pay for what is not their fault? Then I guess Nintendo has been brilliant at business and Sony / Microsoft are just too stupid because they keep on caring about gamers and partners and what is fair.

Maybe the DRM policies Microsoft was about to implement was one of the few good business ideas they've ever had. Unfortunately, they got stupid again and decided to profit less at the gamer's expense. Nintendo is the only smart company, still keeping region lock, inflated prices, low budgets for game development and many other business decisions that dignify the only true game company out there producing consoles.
