I've never understood the argument that "it's a bad console because it has shovelware". I mean, nobody is forcing you to play Carnival Games or Imagine Poneyz 5, you can just ignore them.

Do handheld gamers feel this way about the DS too? It's kind of odd because a lot of the hardcore handheld fans seem to love the DS a lot but that had a lot of shovelware too. Maybe it's just a home console gamer thing? Idk.

DS seems to get a free pass for some reason. Same with the NES.

But yeah, every successful platform ever has a ton of shovelware, and any gamer worth their salt knows how to spot them a mile away and avoid them, so I don't see the big deal. It's not like you have to play through Just Dance or Cooking Mama to unlock Mario Galaxy and Xenoblade.
