Not sure I agree. Not completely, at any rate.

On the one hand, the people being described here do exist. And they do (anectdotally) buy Nintendo games almost exclusively. And they may actually be the problem the article says they are. But the reason these people exist is that Nintendo cultivated them.

Blaming the consumer because of their buying habits is placing the blame in the wrong place. Rather Nintendo, by appealing primarily to these consumers, are ones who created this problem.

It's not the consumer's responsibility to change to better suit a company. Nintendo dug themselves in, and Nintendo needs to dig themselves back out.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.
