Honestly? I don't read any of Reggie's quotes from these articles as arrogant or anti-competitive. He never said that it was terrible to introduce games 4-5 years before they're released. He said that it's not a standard Nintendo procedure. He never said that virtual reality is bad. He said that it didn't seem like fun. He never said that Nintendo was better than Sony or Microsoft. He said that the PS4 and Xbox One lacked exclusives. Of course, when the title of an article states that he "slams" another console, it's emotionally charging his quote before the viewer has a chance to read it.


Ok, saying VR isn't fun pretty much means no VR company, or VR developer will like nintendo and work with them under the leadership of Reggie because of his comments, especially as he says he hasn't played the VR games on the show floor. Think less about what he says, more about the impact of what he says. Nintendo, like many other companies, have varying announce-to-release timelines, so that whole statement is false. It's also false to suggest the consoles lack exclusives, especially when he said that even before the consoles had released, and wii u was 2 years old.

By saying these things, he is offending a part of the industry and the consequences could affect nintendo in the future. How is he going to convince fans to come to nintendo if he belittles fans of other consoles?
