Eh, to an extent. I have noticed it works differently for different sets of fans. Generally, I have seen plenty of Sony/PS4 fans talk poorly about something Sony has done. Sure, they may disregard some of the smaller things, but some of the medium/larger things are definitely addressed. I remember plenty of Sony fans disliking the PS+ policy of this gen. And even some who didn't think it was that big a deal, like myself, still said they understood why people wouldn't like it or may affect their decision. Some policies fans have actually taken to Sony and got them changed. Nintendo fans, on the other hand, seem to be completely optimistic when Nintendo ever shows a new piece of HW. Doesn't matter the 3rd party support, the graphical power, or marketing (or lack thereof on any of these), they dismiss it. Even bashing companies who decide to not support the console, acting like they or their games don't matter to anyone and the lack of those games won't have any poor affect on its sales. Posting about how it'll sell gangbusters, anyway. And this is before we even have a price for the thing. I understand being excited about new HW, but this is a whole other level. Only when it fails to sell do they actually start to look back and criticize the steps that Nintendo took or failed to take, only for it to be ignored the next time. Granted, these are just my general observations and not everyone always fall into those categories. |
Parts of your description of Nintendo fans remind me of some Sony fans with regards to the PSVR, a new piece of HW from Sony.
