Always arguing about games and features that their system should have. 

Nintendo rarely releases anything outside of Mario, Kirby, Zelda, or Donkey Kong.  Maybe the fans of their niche titles are whining, like me, but that certainly doesn't equal everyone.

I really don't know since I'm not a part of their community in general but If I had to guess, they're trying to figure out why their console of choice isn't doing that well. Its like the american government.

It's the old fight about people who like games but recognize that the console is bad and the people who fool themselves into thinking that the console is good because the games are.

if its the 'old fight' then every consoles sucked. I doubt thats the case and so should you.

Well it's not that old. Consoles only started to suck with the introduction of optical media. Before that you couldn't really complain about them since their only feature was playing a game and that, they did perfectly.

But with CDs came long loading times and the god awful memory cards which certainly made the experience worse compared to previous gens. Then of course came the internet and gen 7 which had the PS3 as the worst piece of console junk ever. Too slow for even its basic features like downloading, installing and browsing. Certainly dragged most experiences down with it.

Fast forward Gen 8. PS4 this time around managed to handle its basic functions aptly and I have so far no big complains other than the general graphical weakness. Wii U however brings me back to PS3 times with much of the same problems. Loading times, slower than necessary interface, no multitasking and to top it off even PS3 graphics.

Yeah, Wii U is not a good piece of hardware or software. Its games are good but it's hampered by troubles that are more reminiscent of last gen than this gen. That's why I can't understand people who say it's a good console just because it has good games.

Maybe I should make a thread about it.

People argue about stuff on the internet? Simply fascinating...

On VGChartz? I'm trying to be here on a more regular basis. And I have a couple of ideas for thread topics, some more silly than others.

Whenever a company struggles, you'll always have divided opinions about what actions that company needs to take in order to right the ship. The important thing is that we close ranks when someone starts to praise a third-party publisher or uses the word "power". We must be like a family, where we can argue with each other but we pull together in the face of Sony and Microsoft.

everything you said makes gamecube almost the perfect console. I have to agree
