The day Nintendo dies is the day I become a retro gamer and that's it. The twins have very few ideas when it comes to innovating the industry and the ideas they do have are usually bad ideas that are meant to make them more money. Nintendo is the only company willing to give their consumers a fair shake these days.

Nintendo is very anti-consumer when it comes to their region-locking policy. Also having the New Nintendo 3DS be able to play games that the older models cannot is a huge middle finger to 40 million + 3DS owners. But you're right Nintendo always does right by consumers. /sarcasm.

Sony is very anti-consumer with their missing backward compatibility. Seriously, that is a thing that I see as a big problem as a consumer. I also don't understand why WiiU doesn't support GC-games and -controllers, but at least Wii-stuff is supported. And I agree, region locking is also anti-consumer.
