Comma I apologize for offending you but I am here to talk about games. I don't judge a console based on the cohesiveness of its business strategy or how many units it sold. I value a console based on whether or not it has a solid library and decent features. For example, I already gave my thoughts on why the 3DS is coming into its own and what makes it a solid device I use every day.

That's why I have to roll my eyes when game "journalists" like to talk about messaging, marketing, and hype. And Vyk, Skyblade and Mirage already summed it up better than I could: that article is a joke (I hope you didn't write it). With an argument as incredulous as that, how could I possibly think it was written for any reason other than to energize passionate Nintendo fans? That article isn't investigation or critical thinking; it's a substandard writer's unproductive rant supported by examples that he very obviously made up. And I've seen a pattern of this at Polygon. When a site sends "moderators" to argue against anyone who points out flaws in an article you know something's wrong.

If you want to talk more about game journalism you can pm me or start a new thread, its a topic I'm really interested in. I might make one after work...
