There is no mistake. It has been stated many times. I don't provide sources for common well known facts that would show up with even the slightest effort in searching.

You are clearly  just making up everything you are saying to your own preference and know nothing about what you are talking about if you don't even know something as redundant as that with how many threads have been posted on it and how many times it has been discussed.

In the time of 3. Gen.. allmost 30 years ago.. They was very close... yes.. :)

But Sega's "SG1000" released same day (July 15. 1983) 

dou you have screens of this game in 1080p or is it a first party game (because screens are in 720p)? i saw a video of that game once but only in 480p and it looked like a lot of fun. can't really look videos in higher res without streaming it for a year^^

On the topic of thee original post. I completely agree. The mainstream media is very quick to put the doom and gloom on anything Nintendo does. From people openly saying the 3DS was a disaster and Nintendo is on its last legs (lacking innovation and even losing their casual market), to claiming everything Nintendo does is the last good thing the company will do. I am extremely tired of the media's obvious slant in reporting. When they decide to cover Nintendo, it is mostly negative slander and that is if they pay Nintendo attention at all. Remember Monster Hunter Tri? One of the best games of the year on any console? Oh the media didn't. They act like the game never happened. Even Gamestop (who ran a free demo promotion of the game) neglected to put the game on its soon to be released board (they also missed Tatsunoko Vs. Capcom on that board as well, and I have some 70 pictures from different Gamestops all over the country that I used in an anti-Gamestop campaign a couple years ago) before it was released. It is like, the media does everything they can to create this image of Nintendo not giving a fuck about getting good games on their console. And people that are not in the know about Nintendo, they eat this bullshit up. It is disturbing.

Vita is without a doubt, a massive flop. There is no pretty way to put it. If I made a Vita-esque mistake in business, there would be absolutely NOBODY willing to grant me a loan to distribute pencils or sell lemonade on the sidewalk by my house for 25 cent a cup. Yet, the mainstream media is almost pussyfoot scare to write an article that is half as harsh as thee articles we saw about 3DS being doomed because it was not outperforming the DS in the same time span. And to top that off, all thee, "analysis" was totally off base and people still use these arguments today as if they have not already been disproved. Why is everyone in the media afraid to admit the truth? Even when Sony said, "599 US dollars" the majority of the hate came from internet users rather than mainstream media.

What I see Nintendo going through is absolutely crazy. It is as if they are the company losing billions of dollars a year (uhhhh no) and laying off 10,000 workers and closing down studio after studio. However, the comapny that does all those things, not one doom and gloom, not one, "is this thee end of..." not one, "they are losing reality with gamers..." article from major mainstream media. People are so easy to jump all over Nintendo, even when they do things correctly (drop 3DS price and realease a good first party title) as opposed other companies making huge mistakes (not lowering price of Vita and still no provoking software), Nintendo is the company all the hate articles are aimed towards.

I wish it would change because it is underserving. I am not trying to say Nintendo does everything correctly, but come on now... it seems that from a media standpoint, everything Nintendo does is a sign of thee end of the company. I am tired of it.

Yeah, the OP was talking about media, specifically gaming media. I'm not sure about hate, wouldn't word it so myself, but I can see some extremely caution and spepsis against WiiU, while Vita got relly much praise pre-launch. Can't say how it was for 3DS, because I didn't look into the press too much, before I was buying one. But as in german forums the 3DS is named a failure, because it sells bad it must have got much negative press pre-pricecut and named failure and not much coverage post-pricecut with much better sales. Most people in forums in germany are surprised, if I tell them that it is now selling around DS at the same point in lifetime.

Thanks, interesting. German Wikipedia lists the SG1000 as second gen. English as third gen. Could be seen either way: a late second-gen or an early third-gen-console. Vectrex was also very late. Anyways, either way the NES is the first console, only possibly together with the SG-1000.

3DS and Wii both had fairly positive pre-hype from the media. The 3D effect and the Wiimote were well received.

The 3DS started getting bad press once the sales started to flutter, but this happens to every system that has sluggish sales early on -- PS3 got it, Sega Saturn got it, Dreamcast got it, Vita is getting hammered with it now.

If you removed the Nintendo logo from the Wii U and made it a Sony product or a MS product, it would be getting skepticism from the press too. 

Really ask yourself what Nintendo has shown here that deserves massive praise? NSMBU and Pikmin 3 are charming sure, but they also very much look like the standard Wii-style visuals moderately bumped up into the HD-era. All the third party content is either a 360/PS3 port or falls into that range. 

And that's basically it. 

Maybe Nintendo should consider actually showing things like Retro or EAD Tokyo or NSTs new projects. Hard to get excited over a system where most of the games have a "already seen this" feel to them. 

Not everything a freaking conspiracy. Nintendo has been sloppy in debuting and demoing the Wii U and haven't really shown anything that mind blowing. Iwata even admitted after the first E3 that they did a bad job with their presentation. 

No reasons for hate. Enough reasons for skepticism, or, in my case, cautious optimism.

The features of the WIi U are major unknowns at this point. Nintendo felt that the 3D in the 3DS was a worthwhile feature as well, however it didn't let them maintain their launch price for very long. I wouldn't count on unknown features and besides the best feature of the Wii U is likely brand and reputation.

How happy are you with PS1 level graphics? People were very happy with that too. I don't think that anyone is going to say no to better graphics at a similar price. Noone would buy a PS1 or PS2 for the same price as a PS3 so obviously visuals are a factor. People bought the Wii inspite of the lack of visual fidelity because it offered something unique which drew people in. What the WIi U offers is not nearly as unique as the WIi and half of the functionality will be copied with the Xbox 360 smart glass at or before launch.
