They should have stuck with the Nx. Much simpler and closer to every other name they've given a system.

and yet, Splatoon has 2 ways to play the game. normal controls. or gyro motion controls.

guess which type of controls the majority of the overall and competitive Splatoon player base prefers using?

Bam.

Fair enough.

Going to nitpick though: The article says nothing about the competitive players :p

Also when you're forced to pay extra for a controller such as the Pro, that would slant numbers away from traditional controller use. The article says that the motion controls are used for "extra precision," but a Nintendo rep wouldn't ever say anything otherwise; their last 2 console generations have been based on motion controls.

If we're calling basic economics and corporate practices 101 excuses, sure. This edited response of yours, compared to the original, is at least open about how you're refusing to analyze the facts of the matter objectively. Being a fanboy is all well and good until you stop being able to even pretend to critically analyze a corporate entity's profit-motivated business dealings[footnote]Yes, I am explicitly drawing this out to show that Nintendo is no more your "friend" than EA or Ubisoft or [/footnote] in an impartial manner.

or you're just too afraid of change to try something different. scared you might like it if you actually give motion controls a proper chance?

No, I don't like to put jelly on my peanut butter sandwiches. They get slimy that way. Non-sequitur is non-sequitur.

We were discussing Nintendo's business practices affecting the manner in which players interact with their products; your assumptions about my personal gaming habits are not related.[footnote]And yes, I have used motion controls. I bought a Wii (along with the rest of the entire world), played a number of games on it, and came to the conclusion that having to waggle a wii-mote in a specific manner is much less convenient and immersive than simply pressing a button that does the same thing.[/footnote]

If you don't have any evidence to dispute the facts I've brought up (other than the article that I acknowledged, with caveats, above), you're better off not posting than trying to create an ad-hominem argument; I'm simply going to keep calling you out for the latter.

i like how it assumes that every motion controlled game is "waggle" and doesn't even consider that motion controlled gaming technology may have possibly evolved further than waggle to also be used to do other things since motion controls came around over a decade ago now.

They're footnotes, silly, not a sig. [footnote] [//footnote]

And if we're going into the rabbit hole of "you don't understand REAL[sup]tm[/sup] motion controls" because I dared called Ninty out for doing what every company ever does, I'm done. If that's the only way you can reconcile someone saying that the big N isn't The Second Coming in video game publisher form, I'm not going to try to convince you otherwise.

Edit: There's a reason "fanboys" are criticized while "fans" aren't.
