| curl-6 said: Perhaps it's just a sign of the times we live in, but I've never seen anything like the relentless campaign of hate and misinformation thrown at Switch 2 over the last two months at any previous console launch. Not even Wii U, Xbox One, or PS3 got bashed this viciously. It got to the point where people were being attacked and mocked online just for buying one or even being excited for it. Very gratifying to see all the hate fail miserably. |
I'm not sure how you can measure "hate" of the Switch 2 versus other systems, but I think it's pretty cut and dry that the Xbox One received the worst hate of any console I can remember. Due to how much backlash they recieved, MS reversed numerous decisions they had made before launch and shortly after release. It was bad enough that Sony openly mocked them about trading games and Don Mattrick quite before it released. As primarily an Xbox user, I'm happy MS got the slander they did because it made them change many of their terrible decisions and then follow up with some consumer friendly ones like backwards compatibility. Nintendo clearly didn't get that much hate since they stayed on course with everything.
