Also it's a false equivalence to say that a Nintendo fan's positive prejudice amounts to the same as an anti-nintendo fan's negative prejudice.

A Nintendo fan becomes devoted to the company and its games because they've enjoyed a seminal selection of games over years or even decades. It has been earned. 

The anti-nintendo fan generally doesn't play any or many of the companies games, but rather draws on a pre-existing bias. 

Again, I'm not saying everyone has to like every Nintendo game, but I just don't find it credible that an honest fan of many genres of game can't find a good deal to enjoy within Nintendo's catalogue.

And this goes for any developer. Just because I don't own an Xbox or PlayStation doesn't mean that I doubt there'd be titles on them that I'd enjoy! 

Every developer has a certain style for making games. Playstation and Nintendo are very far apart in that regard. Or the new bayonetta and the new god of war, as far as exclusives go. I can imagine someone enjoying let's say resident evil 4 but doesn't like the last of us.

 

Sony's style of games is way more presentation and story driven and tends to blur the line between cinema and game. While Nintendo puts 90% of their focus on gameplay and wave a story etc around that. Nintendo tjeir games will never try to blur lines between games and other media. There are always a few exceptions. But I can see someone enjoying nearly all Nintendo games and disliking near all Sony games or the other way around. It doesn't say much about the quality of the game, just your preferences for one or the other. I like Sony's approach more and I think odyssey is way to weird for me, although botw seems pretty cool, although I still don't like the artstyle.

Exactly, but usually the more biased the person is and think he isn't think he has bias the more he thinks everyone else is biased by not seeing things like him.
