Touche, at least some segment of the Nintendo fandom is responsible there. Although first party software is doing well sales-wise, given the terrible hardware sales on the Wii U side and the niche status of some of these titles.

Sorry man, I just can't stand the sentiment of the original quoted post.  Any statement like that without acknowledging that all fanbases are hypocritical when you deal with them as a group looks like lop sided console wars banter which is not something I'm into.
