Your wording was showing as that. Nintendo doesn't really put much more money or time compared to other companies. Sony have several games taking over 4 years of development, R* also does, and multiple others. It isn't liket Nintendo goes above and beyond them, it's more like they make simpler game but stick to having lower bugs.

Quite strange that you think you like the new and shiny just as much as everyone but wouldn't bother only playing old stuff.

My wording was showing that? Are you sure?

"Finally how can everyone act as if all console manufacturers are altruistic but Nintendo, a company that under Iwata was frequently accused of focusing on game creation at the expense of revenue, is in it only for the profit margins?"

I was questioning the argument that Nintendo is greedy and driven only by lust for money when, until recently, folks were complaining that the big N turned out games slowly and methodically, often at the expense of a quick payday. I never said Nintendo invests more money and resources into game development than its competitors. That wouldn be bonkers. Nintendo uses smaller development teams and spends less money than other publishers. 

Quite certainly different folks, because you can't defend that while they put less money and manpower on development they also lose revenue for just putting too much, they are basically antithesis... so it's more like different folks complaining about Nintendo expending very little and charging a lot versus guys that actually think Nintendo is expending a lot just because they iron out the issues in the title... the type and amount of expenses are quite different. Because in the end the profit margin they have is quite bigger than most.

But ok, I understand your point.
