They don't care, neither do I lol.

Are acheivments still a big deal for people? I really don't think it has an impact on sales for hardware or software in 2015.

If they do implement it in their next system which they probably should (just to cover ground), they should make it completely optional. I personally would turn achievements off for every single game.

Personally don't care for them but surely people have to see it ads value to the console? some people just love to hunt virtual trophies in their locked up basement rooms so why deny them some pleasure?

choice is good.

I feel I can answer this, as I play majorly on Ninten consoles and got a PS3 at a later time. I did enjoy getting plats for awhile, but that joy slowly went away and became a chore. I suffered burn out and haven't gotten back to my PS3 since the last game I plat. Even seeing what some of the requirements are for colmpleting certain challenges turn me away from games I would otherwise possibly give a chance.

I never did think about getting plats on Ninten's games, nor did I want any. I just thought about how great the games were and how much I wanted to finish them. I've completed their games not for trophies but because the game was so enjoyable I wanted to complete it. The joy of the game were far more important than collecting trophies to reach a certain quota. Maybe others may agree with you, but I just had to throw in my 2 cents on this comment.

That's even worse than the people who buy games just for plats.  They are clearly not for you so instead of just ignoring them you did something you didn't like and now you just ignore games on a system you bought.  Forgive me but that's crazy. 

Usually when something like a trophy system is introduced to me, I feel the need to complete them, and when every game has that, it makes me want to complete it, but I can't do that due to time, so it's a little off putting. It starts to feel like work rather than playing the game for fun, so I just lose interest. It be better for me if they just didn't exist and I just play the game for what it is, but they are there and I can't forget them, which kind of dampens the whole experience.

Now with added 'actually does something'!

"Trophies" are about the most pretentious gimmick in videogame history. Even the name "Trophy" just reeks of ostentation.

You are doing gaming wrong my friend! I'd still play all the same games if they didn't exist.  But games I really enjoy playing like gta 5 and payday 2 or even ngs2 and mgs3 I get the platinum platinums for them. 

Maybe if Nintendo put out crappy games with really novel stamps to collect that could be used in other Mii-Verse forms people would be happy?
