Why does nintendo need to take shots at Sony or Microsoft when they have the mighty 3ds in which is the top selling console (40million plus and still selling ....also when there are no major releases (titanfall or infamous second son ) is on top of the charts .....and dominating the handheld market and has been number 1 selling console most of this year worldwide

It's not, 3DS has been selling between PS4 & XOne, and is only top selling console in a restricted kind view.  By the same logic the "PSP sold 80 million plus and still selling."

PlatformYearly (change)Total
PS4 2,150,734 (-51%) 6,343,001

I'm talking 8 th generation ...if that's the case the ds is still selling and it's at 154,000,000 or the wii which is at 101,000,000 also is still selling if we are talking fiscal year April 1 to "march 31 2014 no console has sold more hardware than 3ds ...you see how numbers can be deceiving .....yes playstaion 4 and xbox one came out in nov but from nov until today 3ds still has sold the most hardware in that time period

Nintendo has some advantages. They're the only ones that offer free online. They haven't gone big into microtransactions yet. PS4 and XBO have no exclusives at the level of 3D World yet. 

There's more Fire Emblem DLC than the cost of the game brand new.

Remember how popular Sony got when they attacked MS at E3 for all their awful policies. Why didn't Nintendo do that? They weren't blocking used games and forcing people to be always online. They should have taken some potshots at the competition while they had the chance. Make fun of Microsoft shoving Kinect down everyone's throats, or Sony for the PS4 having online subscriptions. 

Now I know what some of you are thinking, Nintendo is too mature to restort to these childish insults! Well the competition isn't, and being the bigger man isn't exactly helping them. Sony and MS don't take Nintendo seriously, most game journalists don't even know what the WiiU is. It's time to fix this. Get mean Nintendo. 

Bad idea ps4 owes its success to sony's marketing and Microsoft's blunders. Nintend should focus on games and that is realyy what therse plastic things are meant to do....



I don't think Nintendo takes Nintendo seriously.

Petty insults are one of the reasons I have nearly no respect for Sony and zero respect for Microsoft. Stay classy, Nintendo. I'd rather hang out with the dumb kid than the asshole any day.

Why so sensitive?

90s Nintendo would make Sony and Microsoft look like pansys.

What so petty about staying consistent and reminding people of it? Maybe Nintendo would say something to if they actually paid attention to what the competiton was doing instead of: 

“It’s all about the games. The competitive systems have announced their launch lineups. I’m allowed to say ‘Meh,’” Fils-Aime said.

Whether they do or do not, nothing will change. If they don't, nothing will change, obviously. If they do, then the people who criticize them for it are the people who would buy a Wii U anyway. The people who will buy Wii U eventually will not be persuaded by this. They are just waiting for Kart, Smash, X, Bayonetta, etc. This goes back to the idea that Nintendo does not compete with Microsoft or Sony. Those two compete against each other, so mudslinging has some value. Nintendo would lose or gain nothing.

I'm pretty sure the verdict, 5 months later, is that Reggie was right. The PS4 and XBO launch lineups were exceedingly "meh."

That is for the consumers to decide not Reggie, furthermore, this about Nintendo not playing Sony or MS's "childish games"

If saying that they have no always on drm and no region lock is a petty insult then what do you call directly insulting the launch librarys of PS4 and MS? Sounds like something a company that has been in the industry for the longest time shouldn't be saying.

Talk about your own games not your competitors. I wonder what Reggie said in response to PS4 lapping it and XB1 on its heels despite the fact that it had a year headstart?
