And yes, I do like Nintendo more. Perhaps, instead of writing me off as a blind Nintendo fanboy, you should consider the reasons why I prefer systems with unnecessary gimmicks and lack of third-party support.
What if his consideration comes to the conclusion that you're a "blind Nintendo fanboy?"
Seriously, nobody here can know what's in your mind, but if you're going to be all "draw your own conclusions" like that, be prepared for people to draw their own conclusions, including ones you don't necessarily like. And when your post is largely vague platitudes and odd contradictions (Microsoft is bad for a tenth anniversary edition of Halo, but it's good they re-release Mario because...It's been ten years!), it doesn't read like a reasoned argument.
Now, don't get me wrong here: you are free to love whichever company you want for any reason, rational or otherwise. But when you portray an irrational argument, it's ridiculous to say "maybe you should consider my reasons first."
Well, maybe it doesn't lead to the conclusion you want. I'm not going to go as far as "fanboy," but your argument does not look to be reasonable. It just strikes me as that old "Genesis does what Ninten-don't" riff all over again, time and again. I think you worked backward from the conclusion that it's okay when Nintendo does it. Maybe I'm wrong, but you're asking us to consider based on...What? Not a well-reasoned argument.
