I just have to say that the degree of integrity in this post is visible in the comparison of Sonic and Mario's soundtrack evolutions throughout the years. The bias becomes blatantly obvious when OP spins Sega's use of [cheesy] modern rock bands for Sonic themes as superior and more beneficial than Nintendo's instrumental Mario themes in today's era.
What? Seriously?
Sure, Nintendo hasn't remained as technologically advanced in some areas as the others, and hasn't done the same thing as Sony or Microsoft. But that can be argued as beneficial. We would all probably appreciate better online accounts from Nintendo, but at least their service is free, and provides unique experiences [Miiverse, SpotPass] that the others don't offer. If Nintendo merely copied the "cool" things PlayStation and Xbox were doing with more realistic games and simulators, we would have too much parity, and lack many of the unique and creative offerings that have come from them over they years.
Yeah, they stuck with Mario Kart for all these years, but you know what? It's still incredibly fun for many people and manages to differentiate itself in each iteration. Uncharted games are amazing, but each one barely adds to the previous one.
Nintendo is the most influential gaming company of all time, constantly innovating in many different areas. Nintendo doesn't copy what the others are doing so much, because they don't have to, and they don't want to. There's no reason to bash them for this, as they still make some of the most innovative and fun to play games around, despite the longevity of their franchises.
Nintendo aren't perfect, but neither are Sony, Mircosoft, Steam, etc. I hope Nintendo continues doing what they do, innovating and creating, so that I can continue to enjoy their unique games and experiences, as well as Sony's and Microsoft's [and all the developers.]
This post isn't truth.
