You do make some valid points, but you also paint them in a very bad way. And for the most part I feel it's unnecessary to feel like they owe me or that I should despise Nintendo. And I don't see anything wrong with exclusives.

Every one of your paragraphs is titled with painting them in a bad picture, as "harming" gamers. I don't feel that way at all. I do feel they are behind in times, but this entire article is a bit exaggerated. The context of each is the same- Nintendo is harming gamers. And I just don't see it that way. Gamers have a choice whether to buy their products or not. They aren't harming anyone but themselves with their attitude, which I agree is a bit s****y. But to say they are harming gamers is false.

Harming 3rd party? 3rd party also harmed themselves on Nintendo consoles also. Sure Ninty gets most of the blame on that one, but that goes both ways. What you consider "truth" is what I consider opinion. Not all gamers are broke and need to choose between consoles. Most gamers choose which console to get first and get a second console down the line anyway. Of all the friends I have that are gamers, I know of only one that games on one console only and it's not Nintendo. 

1 - I understand your view, and it's a valid one. After all, Nintendo hasn't done anything illegal. As for the way I tell things, every subjective statement of mine is backed up by objective facts. Therefore, my bitter comments are a natural consequence of Nintendo's bitter actions.

2 - That's only point 1. Then you have all the other entities they've also harmed.

3 - That's right, gamers have the choice. And, if they become better informed, they can choose better. Then, this thread is not that useless.

4 - "But to say they are harming gamers is false." - That is just an opinion too. I guess half of the people that read the entire point 1 and agree with that will consider Nintendo is harming gamers.
