Do you agree that Nintendo should stop hurting themselves. Unfortunately, I believe that Nintendo can't keep up in the console race, so why not turn all their attention to smashing the competition in the handheld field?

I didn't say that in this topic. Get your facts right.

Simply, making an observation (a bad one I'll admit) on the few pictures we have.
Have a nice day :)
"Thankfully, I don't plan on getting a Nintendo Revolution. The idea of prancing around the living room with modified TV remote doesn't go down too well, I'm afraid."
"But the GameCube was sub par and from what I've seen of the Revolution, we are in for a mediocre experience."
That is an attempt to continue the "thoughtful discussion" you started with your original post? That?
Please, just stop.
"Aww come on, the Eyetoy rocks compared to this."
"Thankfully, I don't plan on getting a Nintendo Revolution. The idea of prancing around the living room with modified TV remote doesn't go down too well, I'm afraid."
"But the GameCube was sub par and from what I've seen of the Revolution, we are in for a mediocre experience."
"Paper Mario 2, Pikmin? Why did you pick the two kiddiest games on the console."
As far as I'm concerned, you haven't made anything that even barely resembles constructive criticism. All you've made is stupid statements that either make no sense, or make barely enough sense that they allow us to rip apart the flawed logic contained in them.
I know you're trying to be mature and stuff, but to be honest you're failing miserably. As the fourth quote proves.

This is absolute tripe. Firstly, isn't it funny how you find us to be incorrect, while we collectively think you spew rubbish? Also, we're not on any sort of 'crusade' at all- we're simply pointing out that your arguments are weak and petty, and hold no real weight to them whatsoever.
Finally, "Companies will not innovate if people kiss their asses, instead they need an idea of what people think they should do"- doesn't this completely contradict the idea of innovation? You're saying that companies innovate by using ideas thought-up by others?
Right you are...

It doesn't portray you as that at all. You think people are attacking you because you're against Nintendo? Not at all.
People are attacking your viewpoint because, quite frankly, the majority of the time it's rubbish. You assume things, you pose stupid questions and you're generally very inconsistent with arguments.
> Once again we move into the realm of weak personal attacks.
And you don't think some of the crap you've spewed is worthy of a remark like that?

If you can't see for yourself that pretty much every argument you've made in the past day or so has been well and truly battered about, then there's something wrong with you. The fact that you need an example to be given is quite worrying.
