Why did Nintendo chose not to implement a system wide achievement system? Stubborn or missed the boat?

They have said their reasoning before on numerous occasions, if I recall correctly, that they want people to play their games for fun and not out of some stressful obsession to collect digital badges that, in the grand scheme of things, mean absolutely nothing in our lives.

And what about those that consider collecting achievements part of the fun? Just makes Nintendo games seem inferior to me.

Hey, I enjoy getting things too, but it doesn't really matter down the road. I used to have a 360 and I don't even remember the things I had for all those games. I play steam /pc games about as often as Nintendo ones and I don't even know what things I've collected/unlocked as I don't really care. You care and that is fine, but I suspect the majority of us Nintendo fans don't care that much about universal systems or, at the very least, aren't bothered by a lack of it.
