I hate Nintendo, Same as I hate Microsoft and Sony.

They are all just money hungry industries, who don't care about customers, just money.

But they release brilliant consoles, and that’s what you should all think when it comes to choosing a console. Put it this way

If the Gamecube was made by a totally different company to Nintendo, would you but it? Or is it because of its brand logo that sells you the console?

It’s the same with sports clothes, No logo/brand name but it looks nice would you buy it?

If the 3 consoles were just named Gamecube, Xbox and PS2 instead of Nintendo Gamecube, Microsoft Xbox and Sony Playstation 2 would you buy it?

Its the brand logo that seems to sell, That’s why I hate Nintendo, Microsoft and Sony they sell their consoles with a massive printed all over it.

When you decided on buying the console of your choice, did you *first*

a) Want it because it was made by

Or

b) Because of the Games line up

That’s what people look at first, then the line up of games.

Money Hungry Industries demanding cash are all the companies want.

Nintendo aren’t brilliant with customer service, neither is Microsoft or Sony.

I don't know why I wrote this but hey.

Thanks for reading

ALL companies are in it for the money though, except charities.

I don't much feel like hating EVERY company out there, in fact I don't hate many.

I quite like Nintendo, as I kinda like their philosophy on games and originality.

It's better than some companies making money from lame sequels.

ahh that kinda thing i understand now.
Yeah your right must people in customer service dont give a damn if you have a problem as long as they get paid for sitting down watching naughty movies and getting paid for it.

Talking about customer service most places are really bad, my cheat cartridge bust i was put on hold 3 times then they didnt know what to do, i sent it by post i got it back a week later and it still didnt work.

then there the time.....

*some hours later*

actually thinking about it there was only one good customer service i ever witnessed and that was about 2 years ago when i motor in a knex thing didnt work i phoned them they gave me a new one for free, no questions asked, and it reached me in a few days.

Get the nintendo console with out nintendos games? Oh god no *breaks into sweat just thinking about it*.
Then id wait for a few months and get release dates for games on all 3 consoles and choose the one with the most/best games i want.
I wouldnt buy a console for the name of the maker of it, when i have a real choise (by real i mean when it is a close call not something like deciding weather or not to get a mag which is 1 page long to a mag that has 500 pages).

See you also went for the console with the most games you like and thats what its all about.
Its no use have an extra tv channel if all its got is stuff you dont like on it, is it?
We all have diffrent opnions thats what makes the world go around, well the computer game industry for sure.

That could possibly be you when you grow up, not knowing what to do with games and their consoles.

Cheers for the replys.

Nasty Neighbour, I have a problem with customer service from nintendo when i had a defunct GBA.

I asked the guy on the phone for a replacment (as the console had a HUGE chip out of the plastic) He did'nt know anything at all. It took a month for me to actually get Nintendo to take the console back and get a new one.

Hmmm.

But say nintendo never exsisted at all, games such as Mario and what were made by different developers, would you get it then?

Also goku4eva i was saying i hate Microsoft, Nintendo and Sony, not saying i hate the consoles though.....

One of the reasons i don't want a GC is because there is only around 9 games i'd want for it, for my box theres about 60 i am really looking forward to.
