this general will outlive the game itself

Nintendo is completely coasting off the fact that Xbox and Playstation are repeatedly shooting themselves in whatever lower parts of their body they have left that they haven't already shot off; being the best of the worst doesn't automatically mean they're good right now, and people need to stop grading on a curve. Their business practices and prices are horrid, and their games have become aggressively mediocre and less focused/consistent in their design.

Gaming communities, especially this board, excuse far, FAR too much of Nintendo's recent behavior with the deflective reasoning of "Sony/Microsoft started it!" or "it's not AS bad as how Sony/Microsoft do it!". Not everything needs to be evaluated through a lens of being "versus" someone else.
