The Article in the OP gives some examples.

My sarcasm meter must've been broken, because I didn't pick up on that at all!

OT: I guess I should actually say something about the OP. But, DevilRising has already said it pretty well. Every company has their worst fanboy or just plain fan. Every company has groups of people that will defend them even if they kill a kitty. Cherrypicking and targeting one fanbase is never a great idea.

Imo the problem of nintendo is that they don't have enough fanboys

I'm glad you like the thread guys.

There you go, you are not part of the group that he mentions on his article, but if you ask around you will find that A LOT of the Nintendo Fanboys only buy Nintendo games, not many, but ONLY, give any reason that they want, quality not up to standards, missing features that they will not use anyway, graphical bugs, etc. They don't even give them a chance, a that is just plain wrong.

Find resident_hazard on the forums here and thank him =P

They certainly aren't fans if they bought one system, a couple games and then after a couple years all collectively jumped ship, so no the casuals that bought the Wii and are now gone are not Nintendo fans and the article is most definitely not talking about those people.

And for the bolded part, yes I agree, but that is not what the article is about, at least not directly, it's about people that bought for example the Wii U not buying third party games and thus making the Wii U lose third party support. And to say it's Nintendos fault that third games on the Wii U aren't selling is ridiculous cause in this case Nintendo certainly hasn't, as Sethnintendo called it, released too many damn good games for it.

You know that there is nothing wrong with the number of sales those games got on the GC right?

Considering that the ps2 sold about 7x the amount of the GC the sales are about on point just do the math and it's not that hard to see.

The Xbox does not factor in because it hardly had any big exclusive games to begin with, all I can remember were halo and ninja gaiden, so you were pretty much stuck with 3rd party games, and the ps2 had a whole heap of exculsives for it (albeit mostly 3rd party). You get my point right? I really don't want to have to explain it any further.

So again whats the problem here?

It seems to be the same guy who wrote the article!

I certainly need to thank him, he was a great inspiration for this quality thread.

"I think if your primary arguments are “hardware power, who is more powerful, etc,” you’re an idiot if you buy or game on anything other than PC.  Hardware power does not define video games, and if you think that, then the last place you should be playing games is on a console—which is technically obsolete up to a year before it even releases"

Probably the most logical statement in the entire article.

"Well, I no longer think the Nintendo fanboys are the worst in the industry.  I do think Nintendo still receives the worst haters, but the worst fanboys are the XBO fanboys now (congrats guys!)."

After reading this statement, it's safe to assume that he  hasn't met "some" of the Sony fans on VGC
