Sigh. Another blame the consumer article. I own every Nintendo console. I own a lot of third party games on each one. I do buy Zelda every iteration because I love the series. I own very few Mario, Kirby, or Pokemon games, but I love stuff like S&P, Wonderful 101, and I will be front-and-center with Bayo 2, having enjoyed the first game. My Gamecube was proud home of Tales of Symphonia, Skies of Arcadia Legends, Soulcalibur 2, and many other games I can't mention. Even on handhelds, I own a lot of third-party games alongside the Nintendo stuff. I also own every Sony console except the Vita, and the Xbox 360.

The problem is, Nintendo really does come out on top, nine times out of ten. Why would I want to buy the latest annual EAActiUbi crap when I could spend my money on games I will enjoy far more? It's not my job to give money to EAActiUbi just because they put out games. It's their job to make me feel that they are a worthwhile purchase. They're not going to make me feel it with the latest annual Battlefield of Duty Creed, they're not going to make me feel it when their games are so locked down with DRM it's ridiculous, and certainly not when it's a half-assed port on a Nintendo console like so many of their games have been of late. I don't even buy that garbage on PS3/PS4.
