Now that is the case, but in the days of PS2 dominance, the Nintendo handheld line was expected to shake in its armor. David has become Goliath, mostly thanks to Nintendo's tested recipe for success in the handheld market, and thanks to Iwata's innovative work on the DS product.

The handheld and home consoles market have always been seperate, or are you going to claim nintendo made no home consoles during the ps2 era.

The gameboy did tremendously well because it was seen as an entirely different product to home consoles, and the subsequent revisions and upgrades continued that trend virtually uncontested sales wise until the PSP, as the atari lynx, game gear and other poorly supported devices didn't even scratch the surface.

You are simply tying strings between points that will never actually meet to try and swing sense into a critically flawes statement, nintendo have never been david, the few occasions their home consoles have sold badly, their handhelds have picked up the slack, thus in the competitive market nintendo is the goliath, and psp/vita/gamegear/lynx/pcegt etc are the davids.

I remember the expectations back in the day. It was that PSP was going to demolish the DS. Remember the first year of the DS? I do.

Reality and fanboy hopes are two entirely different things.

no you just turn my words into something i never said.

 

lol why should i do damage control if you make up stuff?

 

Anyway Iwata is cool, you hate nintendo but you also hate Iwata so Iwata is doing something great. Thats the best prove of his competence, the hate of Nintendos enemies.

Ps the Nintendo handhelds are not just for kids, even though i would buy my a kid a 3ds.  Nintendo is the only company that did games like brain age that are clearly aimed towards adult players, you also have my english coach, my japanese and my french coach on ds.

there are even programs out for learning japanese characters

To be honest, you have an extreme bias, so you're not in a position to point fingers. You see everyone as "Nintendo haters", yet you're coming off as a "Everything else hater" going by your post history. You try to discredit people's arguments by labelling them as mere haters with no substance and only a given preference that they will defend at any cost and you fail to realize that you fit this label just as well, if not more, yourself.

Some examples, many of them recent;

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5880068 Paying EA to trash-talk Nintendo? Conspiracy theories and speculation does not make you look smarter.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5878188 Because everyone else is evil, right? This is the exact, incredible biased outlook I'm talking about.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5878092 Here we have it; Miyamoto is God.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5877362 Clearly not digging anything Microsoft.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5877413 Same thread, same agenda, some harsh words on both MS and their fans here, mature stuff.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5876647 Once again all up in Microsoft's stuff, with a touch of amazing source-work to boot. There is clearly no attempt anywhere in all these posts to disarm or belittle the competition, and subsequently their fans and their opinions.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5876594 Never listen to what others say, doesn't that include what you say? "I hope everyone sells their Vita for a 3DS", again no indication of an agenda here, especially with the entirely off-topic snark directed at Jason Rubin at the end there.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5874011 Some incredible insight into Sony fans here, mixed with yet another jab at Microsoft and stirred with the statement that Nintendo fans are pretty much superior, three for one special and in no way colored or biased.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5873951 Clearly got the market pegged, we all know the Wii U is all good now, it's all the others that are refusing to see what's really going on.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5873936 More conspiracy theory and more Jason Rubin getting on your nerves (you know he's not directly affiliated with Sony or Microsoft, right?).

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5870299 Again, Nintendo are the sole reason the industry is worth spending time on, clearly no one else has contributed in any positive manner.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5870564 A Microsoft jab, great job and something fresh and new.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5870056 Again, others are only fail, off-topic jabs left and right.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5866682 Super Mario 3D World is obviously everyone's GOtY, I mean since we're being objective and all.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5865147 Actually, Nintendo have a far larger bag of cash than Sony and Pachter is not God, we already established that Miyamoto is God. Also, you get overly irritated at a an analyst making (somewhat justified) statements.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5864206 First off; Rol threads are always sarcastic, secondly; yet again you manage to turn this into an "the evil that Sony and Microsoft do" argument. Seems like you're looking for excuses to sling mud at the competition.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5863619 Some snippets; "If they had other big companies instead of Nintendo i dont think such lame companies as Microsoft and sony with their substandard uninnovative devices would prosper." "Against similar evil companies who bring quality as Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony both would have to say good by to the video game market." That's downright calling them evil and lame, how childish can one get? Even on the internet, it's kind of hard to find people who are this amazingly defensive and hating, and you call others haters?

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5861594 Cheap shots, cheap shots everywhere!

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5860732 A smart combo of Jason Rubin hate and a Microsoft conspiracy. Otherwise, it could be that Rubin is just "really thirsting for publicity like a ho thirsts for money", that or the Microsoft conspiracy are obviously the only two explanations as to why a developer would say anything negative about Nintendo.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5860579 Grasping the concept of percieved value and bashing Microsoft, off-topic, once again. It's obviously not an ongoing attempt at damage control at any point in time.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5859117 Holy hell! SPot 130 and 170 on Amazon! Megaton! Also, "despite costing 340$", didn't we establish farther up that it isn't overpriced? "People really like to ignore reality just to bash Nintendo", yep, almost as much as people like to ignore it to defend them.

 

All this is from only the past week. I'm not gonna call you names or anything like that, I'm just trying to show you how silly it looks when you label others as "haters", there really aren't a lot of users in here spreading more hate than you. Feel free to enjoy the forums and all sorts of discussions, but until you clean up this fantastically obvious campaign of yours, you have absolutely no right to label others as "haters". In my honest opinion.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5880557 MS are manipulative bad kids.

http://gamrconnect.vgchartz.com/post.php?id=5880579 He just can't understand how anyone can't love the 3DS. Obviously.

I wonder how long he can keep going without the mods taking note.



I have suspected somethings amiss with him from the first post i've read, it's like... dare i say it.. a school kid on a one man mission to change the preference of an entire forum.
