Really it's a matter of taste and stupid to argue about. Problem is the poster has the same issue many of these thread starters do. He is maybe having a hard time vocalizing what it is about Nintendo he no longer finds appealing, made a weak argument, and is therefore open to endless attack by those who have a different opinion.
That said here's my attempt at a weak argument in the form of a list of my own issues with Nintendo. Fee free to analysis and tear me apart for them.
1. They Cannibalize third party sales and therefore ensure weak third party support (not by volume but by quality)
2. Due to this, the overall volume of quality software is relatively low forcing Everyday gamers spend their time waiting for big Nintendo games to come out a few times a year or to buy another system to fill the gap.
3. Complete lack of third party ports this generation. If you only own a Wii you are going to miss out on a lot of great games this round.
4. Delayed games- delaying games so they don't bite into each others sales is
a good business plan but it's stupid how Nintendo will always announces release dates and then always delays them for this obvious reason but say it's for quality purposes
5. Willingness to sell what is essentially a game cube with a new controller for $250. For $250 we really should be getting better hardware and graphics than a 5-7 year old system (how about DVD play back or some real storage space).
5. Unable/unwilling to provide first party titles for any one system that last more than a few years before going into a downward cycle of Mario baseball, tennis, break dancing, Frisbee golf, knitting, accounting BS
6. Unwillingness to create or bring back franchises that their fans ask for while repeating the same franchises over and over (If they are listining to us and what we want we should have 5 Kid Icarus Games already and can I have a damned next gen 2D Metroid please?)
7. Overpriced licencing fees
8. Lack of quality online service
9. Refusal to make games that aren't pastel.
10. lack of complex story driven games or games with narrative structures beyond "he he" and "ha ha"
Don't get me wrong. I do LOVE Nintendo. We've been childhood sweat hearts since the NES. I just wish they would be willing to look at their flaws and fix some of these things so I could be IN LOVE with them again (the way it used to be before they started cheating on me with that casual guy, girl, mom, grandma, and everyone else on the planet, SLUT.)
