I have no idea. Seems weird right, but there is deeprooted envy from somewhere. Maybe it's from sales totals last generation, or the cultural impact of Nintendo that no one can match? They secretly think Yoshi is adorable? Could be any number of things. You'd have to ask them, I don't know what drives them. Unfortunately, most likely they'll reply with something along the lines of:

"That's retarded, I have nothing to be envious about. I have the best gaming system and best games in the world why would I be envious?"

They will fully believe this statement themselves and are probably not consiouc of their envy, but there is something that promts the kind of responses you know you will see in a thread like this. Statements that takes the form of either belitteling or ridicule. Very strong tells of envy. Go back and see who feels they need to make statements like "It's a late port, they had more time to polish it" (belitteling) or "Wow, next generation console and you can barely see any improvement" (ridicule). The deeper reasoning for making these kinds of statements are almost rooted in some sort of envy.

That people are envious is not the same as having an inferiority complex though, so I agree that claiming that as the reasoning is bogus.

since when is 720p and 30fps something to laud on an 8th generation console? hahaha

You just completely tried to avoid arguing with all this text. If you are calling someone envious of this game it is because you identified things in this game to make those people envious. You can't call on someone as being envious and then pretend you don't know why they are envious.

Envious of what? What makes them envious? Why should they be envious?

No, go back and read it again. I'm not saying anything about what people are envious about. I am pointing out typical responses that most likely is grounded in some sort of envy. Doesn't have to be related to this game at all, it's more likely grounded in some sort of wish for the Wii U to be no more powerful, or just barely more powerful than PS3 or Xbox 360. That type of wishes is the very definition of envy.

Obviously, there's no way for me to know what this envy is based on. Most of the people I am grouping with this type of argument aren't conciouis of their envy themselves. Why would I invest any time or effort into trying to find out? As for why they should be envious, I don't think they should be. I don't think envy in general is something toy strive for, at least not malicious envy as we see on display in this thread and all over VGChartz all the time.
