I personally find the fact that there are some rediculous Nintendo comments in the list very refreshing.

Stop your trolling IGN and just go the fuck out of business |
I feel bad for you that you need to defend nintendo even when its just a joke and other companies are skewered in an equal fashion. Stop acting like nintendo's shit don't stink and relax a bit, its just vidya games.

That's what i meant by context. Clearly some games on other platforms took off due to a demand for online games, but Nintendo hasn't had a game that was really made a breakout hit specifically becasue of online. Mario Kart Wii is the only one that i could think of, but that game could (and probably is) just as easily riding on local multiplayer.
"Nintendo customers do not want online play" could still be an accurate statement to make. A bit alienating to certain cores of it, but from a cold business perspective it could still be a safe statement.

well.. it would be ok if he had said "nintendo customers". but he didn't. he just said "customers" in general.
his full quote adds:
"At the moment, most customers do not wish to pay the extra money for connection to the Internet, and for some customers, connection procedures to the Internet are still not easy"
"Game companies now find it difficult to make online game businesses successful, and their enthusiasm for them is cooling"
so.. he really did make a blunder of a statement. no way of really saving face there.

To give you an equivalent of his quote, take a sony quote that is negative on motion control from 2006. If we look at it then we could say they were right because motion control hadn't been proven yet, and sony gamers still don't care about motion control. We could defend it like that or we could take it for what it actually is, a lack of foresight.

Gotta agree with Wargram on this. That IMO has gotta be the worst of those comments
"Dr. Tenma, according to you, lives are equal. That's why I live today. But you must have realised it by now...the only thing people are equal in is death"---Johann Liebert (MONSTER)
"WAR is a racket. It always has been.
It is possibly the oldest, easily the most profitable, surely the most vicious. It is the only one international in scope. It is the only one in which the profits are reckoned in dollars and the losses in lives"---Maj. Gen. Smedley Butler
I think "If you can find a PS3 anywhere in North America that's been on shelves for more than five minutes, I'll give you 1200 bucks for it." and "The PlayStation 3 is a computer. We do not need the PC." should've been there! But great list anyway! 
ugh nintendo XD.
ths shud be takn in gud humor, it ws funny.

I don't think they even got that quote right. Didn't Mikami say he'd cut his head before he ported RE4 to PS2. He didn't port it Capcom did and he also left Capcom because of it.
