How is not quoting someone specific and saying people are being childish not calling names? In fact, even if you quote a post that is offensive and then say that person is childish, not calling names?
I agree that my fellow board member routerbad called people names by mentioning "the haters". However, I don't necessarily think that is bad, nor do I think it is bad calling some people on this forum childish.
What I do think isn't right is you complaining about people calling people names, like routerbad, and then doing that yourself.
Although you are correct in your rhetoric, your thought process is wrong. They could have done what they are doing now with the last generation of consoles, but they choose not to. Or, they could have choosen to design enough air flow and a better cooling system then they originally did. But choose not to. These are design flaws. It's not like Nintendo couldn't make mistakes. They had a leg up, sure.
But look at the Wii U. Even at your own admission, the Wii U is at least ad powerful as the other guys. Using a lower clock processor. Having less hardware problems. The software issues aren't the same as hardware in my book because those are fixable, and it is sad it's taken this long to fix it.
So, at redesigning a console (GCN TO Wii) or designing a newer next Gen console (Wii U), Nintendo has proven they are better than the others.
And yes, I realize you agree with me at the basic principle. But I did say I like to debate .
Just to clarify, I never called anyone a hater, I only said that Nintendo haters exist, like haters for any brand or company exist. I didn't specifically call anyone a hater here.
Also, DesertPunk continues to redirect the conversation each time one of his points is challenged, setting up strawmen arguments that have nothing to do with the topic. Then me starts making childish posts calling people out for defending the console, without quoting any of the material he finds objectionable. Also, he is curiously fixated on the word "haters"
