Misquoted you on purpose? You're just going to throw accusations around because you don't have any ground to stand on? You just automatically went to "He misquoted me... on purpose!" Maybe I just i don't know ... paraphrased what you said because I didn't want to go pages back?
Here's what you said :
"And this is why I dont like when Nintendo does well. Any moderate success is instantly turned into some massive hyperbole like this threads premise"
Soooooo much better amirite? I mean honestly, if I presented a fallacy or misconstrued what you said I could understand why you'd think I "purposely" misquoted you. But it's pretty much exactly what you said. Stop with semantics.
"I'd prefer they didn't do well, doesn't mean I don't want them to succeed. "
This doesn't even make sense.
Not wanting Nintendo to do well because you don't like forum users attitudes is honestly pathetic.

It was not what I said, so you misquoted me. Then you used that misquote to make a point that only works if the misquote was the correct quote, which it was not. Which made it a misquote. So either you forgot what I said or are trying to mislead others. So pick which scenario is true.
And Nintendo can succeed without doing amzing. Case and point the N64, Gamecube, Wii U.

No, IT DOES WORK.
IN FACT, MY MISQUOTE IS ALMOST THE EXACT THING YOU SAID
Here's my "misquote" : Again, this is bad logic. I mean in the case of Star Ocean, he literally said "This is why I don't like it when Nintendo succeeds" ... about a FORUM. Think about that. Someone doesn't want Nintendo to succeed, because of how *forum* users act when they do. Just shut off the fucking internet if peoples biases or happiness is going to affect you that much ...
This is your quote : "And this is why I dont like when Nintendo does well. Any moderate success is instantly turned into some massive hyperbole like this threads premise"
Not only is "does well" a synonym for "succeed", but you even make a point that moderate success turns into hype that you don't like. Well, if moderate success does that, and you obviously don't want major success, then what is there left? Minor success? That's hardly what i'd call "being successful"
Wanting Nintendo to be successful in a lesser form because of a forum is stupid. Stop reading forums if that's going to be your mindset.
And again I mean no disrespect, it's just a dumb attitude and fanboyism isn't exclusive to a company. This attitude Nintendo fans have - will probably happen if the XB4 becomes successful. And look I can level with you and agree the attitude is cancer. I mean you can go back and see that a lot of Nintendo threads I'd comment "Why the fuck does this thread exist? We already know the Switch is a success." I've argued with Miyamotoo that he needs to stop playing down the handheld aspect of the Switch to hype up it's success even further. Everytime someone makes a thread like "Look how wrong your predictions were in january hahha" I go "shut the fuck up." The arrogance of Nintendo fans at times can be annoying. Is that any different from other fanboys? No, not at all.
Wanting Nintendo to have success that isn't decent, moderate(in your own words), or big because of fanboys? I mean, we aren't 10 year olds in the 90's. We could always just turn off the machine. I'm sure you've had this conversation before. Saying that Nintendo could just have success like the N64 is a bad example. That *is* the moderate success that led people to dicksuck the console to this day, despite selling 32:100. Gamecube and Wii U are the only examples were Nintendo wasn't at least moderately successful ... and well ... I don't think the "minor" success of those consoles was enough.
I can respect your opinion on it, just not your attitude or your exclusivity.
