On Alleged Anti-Nintendo Sentiment In The Gaming Media

Posted by simoniker on from the plumber-discrimination dept.

Thanks to GamesAreFun for its editorial discussing Nintendo's skewed portrayal in the news media. The writer argues: "I suppose it's just trendy to bash Nintendo right now, even if the arguments for doing it can be easily ripped apart", and goes on to tackle myths on popularity ("..the GameCube has actually never fallen into third place in the overall worldwide market"), a recent half-year financial loss ("old news now... the first loss they've ever reported since going public in 1962"), and temporary suspension of GameCube production ("do they honestly think Sony or Microsoft keep up peak productions at all times?")

    Not sure where "here" is, but I think it's a good guess to day you're in the US. Which I am. Ahh, the wonders of packages from germany. :D
