Why is "Nintendo" used as a qualifier for games?

The generalizations themselves are somewhat small minded, but they're often useful for simplify conversations. Their use is also backed by how many commonly people generalize their own tastes (in part because we enforce our own biases), such as "I dislike [Sony/Nintendo/MS] games".

I have never seen anyone claim to like or dislike Sony or MS games as a group. I can't imagine anyone would want to group Halo and Kinect Sports into the same category, which is why it's so baffling that people are willing to group Zelda and New Super Mario Bros together.

I saw someone the other day claim they always hated voice acting.

Me.
