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.

I don't understand that logic either. Some people do the same thing in the PS1 vs. N64 debate, but it's not like people are going to base their decision on the premise on not buying a console because it has more bad games, their going to buy a console based on whether it has more games they want/have games they want more.
