The fact that 'console wars' have become such a thing makes me wonder where peoples' priorities have gone. Are a number of us degenerating into unpaid capitalist hype-men, so lonely and lost that we need to shill for some company to achieve artificial fixes of rightness and belonging? Jim is absolutely right to give Nintendo a pat on the head for at marketing a system that can, at least, appeal to children, teens, and overgrown teens alike.
To the point that their game library swings back around to the same old Zelda, Metroid, DK, Mario titles etc... has never bothered me much, as I'd rather treat my not-yet-dead inner child to things that make me happy and curious (and that are often handled well as games) than cater to the stupid, angst-y inner teenager who demands a constant onslaught of dreary, repressed, and edgy 'mature content' that dominates the Microsoft and Sony game libraries. Those games remind me of the TV series that my peers watch (Dexter, Game of Thrones, Weeds, American Horror Story, Walking Dead...), superficially cutting-edge and 'adult' in their subject matter and execution, yet ultimately as forgettable and disposable as any crappy teen book series. I'm aware that some games and shows (likely indie titles) truly hit the maturity nail on the head, but the majority of material that bulks out those markets is pandering junk. I'll stick with Nintendo and their shameless interest in crafting games as opposed to 'experiences.'
