And falling upwards at that. ๐
The Wii days were horrible when it came to this crap.
Then again, the early DS days were just as bad, if not worse.
ridiculing the system as it had no change in hell against the PSP and how handheld gaming was finally crawling out of the ghetto thanks to Sony.
Well, we know how that ended up. ๐
Heck, even till this day, I hear on retro podcasts I listen to, when they talk about that generation about how PS3 was such a mess and 360 had the lead till the very and and only then the PS3 finally overtook them and won the generation by a hair.
Only for them to completely ignore how the Wii wiped the floor with both of them.
Hell, I even heard the PS4 being proclaimed the absolute winner of the gen compared to the Xbox one, which just dropped off a cliff, again, completely ignoring the clear winner my a mile, the Switch.
And those were people who didn't have bad intentions or anything.
Nintendo seem to be just a baseline that's always there and get ignored.

@outofprintarchive@retro.pizza They probably ignore the idea that PlayStation Move and Xbox Kinect were, I can only assume, a response to the success of the Wii. And look how those two panned out. I would be way more fervent about that assertion, if it wasn't more than an observation.
