At picture: that gave me a good laugh

At Bold: That's been apart of console marketing for a long time, I mean Sega did with with their commercials about their blast processor being stronger then the SNES, Sony did it marketing PS1 as stronger then N64, and there's still people that believe PS2 is stronger then Gamecube, seems like everyone has the same problem, Nintendo envy ;) I mean really even when console sells more like PS1 and PS2 people for some reason has this motivation to go out of their way to attack Nintendo and their consoles...

Nintendo is a favorite target, it's true. In the eyes of big companies, they don't belong in the market because they should not have the kind of clout they do. The fact that they survived the GameCube era is nothing short of astounding, when you consider how quickly Sega was wiped off the board.

The big companies fear the little companies who can hold their own, because it's the little companies who shake things up and force everybody else to change. Big companies would be perfectly happy making sustaining upgrades to their products for all eternity without ever changing their formulas. Little companies have to change the formulas to stay alive. And big companies can't adapt to change as easily as little companies, if at all.

They pile on the hate because they're afraid. Afraid of disruption, afraid of change, afraid of what's happening all around them now. Nintendo is a target because Nintendo represents everything that big companies hate about market dynamics.

wait so who did i race aganist on mario kart?

omg my house is haunted (runs away screaming)

Really I don't have the issues with friend codes as much as others, I really don't have big problems with it due to the fact that I exchange codes much like I exchange gamertags back when I played on XBL the only difference is if I get a new online game I start messaging my friends on my Wii list my code for that game and they message theirs back, it's nothing more then an annoyance then an issue... plus the community for XBL really sucks I hate playing with the 12 year old kids that play online, they'll scream and yell then you can hear them scream at their parents, and cause you beat them they'll give you a lower rep... it's real crap... I really don't care for XBL cause I don't want to hear talk from or talk to people I don't know... as people in general get on my nerves.
