are one of the few video game companies out there not consistently seeking to screw over consumers. And they do it all at a more affordable price point than Sony or Microsoft.

"not consistently seeking to screw over consumers" - read "1.4. Nintendo’s policies towards gamers"

"they do it all at a more affordable price point than Sony or Microsoft." - read "1.3. What Nintendo is willing to offer"

Why should I worry if Nintendo can make a bigger profit than Sony or Microsoft, even at lower price points? Why should I spend more money on a console when I don't have to?

You don't. If Nintendo has the most appealing offers for you, go ahead.

1.4) Both Sony and Microsoft have games that do not come to the PC.  Most of the rest is ancient history.

1.3) I guess the fact that the SNES, and N64 were the most powerful of their generations means nothing to you?  And that the GC was only slightly less powerful than the Xbox (both more powerful than the PS2)?

I don't have time to read the whole thread.  I'm guessing most of that has already been covered by others more in depth.
