a bit of advice for M.Pranger, don't go to internet message boards, especially that one. Don't try to reason with them, they had a mod and still very active user belittling nintendo users because of reasons, clearly the mod and the owner have their views and they will stick to them. Also the funniest thing, the guy talk about some form of sibling jealousy, defending himself against a "threat" by his but more importantly and relevant after years and years of put downs and over name calling. what demodded him was a very silly little lie (edit to an old post), a pure technicality in my mind.

so if you are a professional, don't engage fully with online communities, make your case, present your products, log out. well if you are at all related to a nintendo product of course. If you are from valve do your thing .

for the record, I think the wii u name was a mistake because in part the coverage made sure to fuel a confusion just for laughs. Nintendo never takes into account the genuine dislike they receive from the other actors of the industry. SO they should have gone with WII 2 and added a wiimote+ and nunchuk to the package, also the non sense about the light bar that was so silly.

but let's be CLEAR it would have added maybe one million to the total, so in the end, it doesn't really matter.

As for enthusiast gamers like well US, please we don't know, we'll argue for years. Nintendo will simply never have as positive coverage as allllllll the others, it's that simple. See how ouya a pretty simple let's go with scam-ish didn't get any backlash and you'll know everything.

Your job is to present a positive image, so just do it. agree to disagree, well the financial implications are very real, we don't have full control, our retail partners are very important to us. Stick with those. don't go in details, it just doesn't matter to us.

at the end of the day, there was a reason why nintendo went as far as interviewing and promoting big names from namco, capcom and so on , when those guys weren't really putting their premium products on nintendo's platform. Also nintendo direct.

so go with I understand your point of view. I'll have to go now. Then they'll have a fit over that once again and soon they will be all in arms about yet another lie from bullshots companies.
