I honestly didn't think this was a big deal until Penny Arcade started making fun of it. Their audience is quite large, and their comments rather scathing. It's a bit like the 360 Red Ring issues: at first it was just a few nerds on a forum complaining, but it went mainstream with a few magazines, and then it was bigger. I'm sure there are Nintendo examples as well, I just can't think of one at the moment. At least not one from the current generation.
