Petty insults are one of the reasons I have nearly no respect for Sony and zero respect for Microsoft. Stay classy, Nintendo. I'd rather hang out with the dumb kid than the asshole any day. |
Why so sensitive?
90s Nintendo would make Sony and Microsoft look like pansys.
What so petty about staying consistent and reminding people of it? Maybe Nintendo would say something to if they actually paid attention to what the competiton was doing instead of:
“It’s all about the games. The competitive systems have announced their launch lineups. I’m allowed to say ‘Meh,’” Fils-Aime said.

Paying attention to the competition and being petty are two different things. There are a lot of things Nintendo could be doing better, and I just don't think petty insults should be on that list.
And it's not about me being "sensitive," whatever that's supposed to mean.

That's besides the point. Ultimately, the "severity" of the comments are subjective, however I fail to see how one could claim that Sony and MS behavior during this 2013 was "petty" while at the same time Nitendo's was "mature". The "jabs" Sony made at Microsoft, you know the ones they made without even mentioning their names, are somehow more severe and assholish compared to the cordiality of Nintendo? Sorry I don't buy it.

I'm not even talking about 2013. In fact, I'd say Sony's re-earned a lot of respect in my eyes in the last year or so, and I loved what they did at E3. But in the past they've said some straight up childish stuff, and it's going to be a long time before I forget about it. Basically I'm under the impression that the need to straight up attack the competition rather than just focusing on making your own product better is a sign of immaturity and weakness.
