| impertinence said: I laugh at all the people who go to the "just your opinion" card when they are confronted by the fact that Nintendo is the best video game developer in the world. If you apply any sort of objective metric it's an obvious conclusion. Yet people insist on dismissing it based on their personal taste as if that has any bearing on the issue. Of course, this kind of reactionary behavior undermines the use of comparative adjectives all together and makes statements comparing anything meaningless. For example if I say that Wii U has the best 3rd party support, people would get their panties in a bunch and go to the delusional argument or whatever. No one would care that my opinion is that for every iteration of Madden that misses a console, third party support gets better. In this case, it's perfectly acceptable to use objective measurements of what constitutes better or worse. So why is it so important to hold up subjective opinion when the fact that Nintendo rules the video game world come up? Because it burns, that's why. It burns people to know in their heart of hearts that their personal favorite companies and entities will never reach past the ankles of Nintendo. Not in historical significance, not in hard sales, not in quality, not in any meaningful way. And when we burn on the inside, we look for ways to control that fire and go to irrational lengths to fool ourselves. |
Cute rant you have there, still doesn't make the opinion that Nintendo is the best video game developer in the world more than an opinion though.
