I don't think of it as no reason. Some people might be more harsh with him from the combination of him managing to piss off both his fans as well as the competion for what he said.

TLG went through develoment hell and in that case as well as FFXV he's stll wrong. they are over 6 year from when first shown and not out yet :P KH3 is another that might get close to that.

He said one way is best, that leaves the way that other companies do it as not best. There was no qualifier "for Nintendo" It's very much in his right to say such a thing but backlash from fans of competitors is a reasonable and expectable responce. Though that backlash means little since fans of the competions weren't likely to buy what he's selling anyway. Pissing off the Nintendo fans was the bigger issue.

@bold. I don't think it's reasonable. I don't think calling reggie a hypocrite, that he is doing damage control, that he is on a rampage, that he needs to go, and downvoting users who present proper defenses to his quotes is reasonable. I don't think it should be the way our community behaves.

And even less reason if they are not going to buy the products anyways, there is less reason for them to be upset. Like you said, the much bigger issue is that Nintendo owners are getting shafted. You are right. ;)

backlash is reasonable, not all backlash is reasonable. even what you list some of those responces are reasonable.Also note some of them are coming from both fanbases his statements have pissed off. Some of the responces have even more hyperbole than his statments but not all of them. Even calling for him to go isn't really unreasonable if taking into context the responces that his statements have made, though I'm sure not always stated in a reasonable way.

Even the downvoting isn't unreasonable. Some people say flat out he's right. I disagree because of the hyperbole as well as how most companies anounce most games in a similar time to Nintendo, yes there are exceptions but Nintendo has them as well. Not all though but sometimes it's not what's said it's how it's said that get's the downvotes.
