For Nintendo fans: If you feel the industry needs fewer shooters, why do you still hate anything that isn't a shooter because it's non-Nintendo?

So, I ask this, why say this, but proceed to bash anything that isn't a shooter? Is it because they're not on a Nintendo console and are thus irrelvant? A prime example would be Knack.

They aren't "bashing" it for being a platformer. Compare with attitudes towards LittleBigPlanet, Rayman Legends, Ratchet & Clank, or Jak and Daxter. They're bashing it for being subpar as far as platformers go, it seems. This need not mean that it's a bad game - only that it is bad relative to popular games in the genre.
