Ive seen a LOT of stuff, from newsgroups wars to teenage toys r us salesmen spew BS to just mad ignorance in my day. I guess that's why I hang here at VG Chartz - its not nearly as bad as everywhere else.
That said, I think that the Nintendo fans took the biggest hit with the GameCube. PS2 was getting more love and games, XBox had Halo, and the nintendo fans got their beloved Link turned into a powerpuff girl-esque cartoon. Nintendo still had a policy where it was trying to hard to hold onto the reins of their limited developer policies, and Nintendo fans had to go out and get a different console to play GTA and Halo and Silent Hill, etc.
I think thats part of why so many Nintendo fans are dancing in the streets with the Wii - retribution. They got so abused last gen that now they get to be the abuser to the Sony fans - at least to a degree.
As for me, Im glad Nintendo pulled through. It was an "All In" move, and if the Wii would have failed, Nintendo would have likely become the next to go Sega's route.
