I defend Nintendo because they are very good at what they do. Anyone who can't see this is a retard. They also make more money at what they do. Their fiscal situation of course effects me not at all, but when ignorant hardcore gamer jackoffs say stuff like, "Why doesn't Nintendo do this?", or "I won't buy the machine unless it does this, so they better do it!" they need to understand that there is a reason they do things the way they do them. It isn't incompetence, not even slightly. Maybe you can get that shit you want on the 360 and the PS3, but keep in mind those machines make little to no money. Perhaps what gamers wan't is completely unsustainable, at least for now?
I slam Sony for getting worse and worse because this too is totally true. They f*cking OWNED EVERYTHING 15 years ago and now they have jack. Nintendo isn't even competing with in the same market as them, honestly, which means they lost the crown to...f*cking Mircosoft? How?
And I slam MS for all the same reasons people slammed MS before they got into gaming. They are a corrupt monopoly that leverages their might into every facet of every industry...and I say "every" industry because there isn't much going on in the world that MS doesn't have something to do with. When they got into game machines it really pissed me off since they bought out the last few Dreamcast projects to sell them to MS customers, most of whom couldn't give a shit less. These days, I have to be honest, MS is doing a LOT better at most of the stuff they do. They stopped doing stuff like putting out operating systems that were shit on purpose just to force an upgrade later (there is NO excuse for Windows Millennium, none) and the 360 is about 100x the system the original XB was. I still don't love them, but most of the anti-XB stuff I went on about was a long time ago.
