Really? Funny how the PS2 generally trounces Nintendo in game sales. Sales
of a product mean nothing in the slightest as to the quality of a product,
and critical acclaim means nothing to those who disagree with it.

Erm, and what opinion of mine am I trying to say is right...? You have no
facts on your side at all, just the support of other people who think as you
do.

A gamer would be better described as someone who likes to play games as
entertainment - the amount they play would not really come into it.

Once again - how can Nintendo be the best developer if I and other people do
not like their games? You are trying to pass off your opinion as fact.

It wouldn't mean anything because it is not saying anything about their
tastes in games.

I had to get the GC first before I realised that I was bored with Nintendo
games. The only GC games I have liked are Eternal Darkness, Viewtiful Joe
and Monkey Ball.

It doesn't matter who started it, you are the only one claiming your opinion
as fact. All I have said is that what games are classics is all down to
opinion, and is certainly not fact.
