Which does not preclude them from being dicks.

Seriously, though, WHY DO THEY STILL CALL IT A GAMEBOY? And why do they insult the best selling handheld ever? Every company that has done that has failed. Game Gear anyone?

And so does the H3.

And with all the replacement 360s people have had to buy to replace their faulty products, that’s pretty impressive.

It was a huge hurdle the Gamecube struggled to overcome, seeking expensive exclusive contracts with the Resident Evil series.
He’s got a target demographic in mind, and its not kids and gamers, its hipsters and business guys who want to be gamers but don’t want to admit it, and kids who want to act older than they are. He wants people who want copious amounts of gore in their games, because Nintendo generally aren’t one to deliver on the blood or the T&A.

I don’t see his comments as inflammatory so much as a means of marketing. You see commercials all the time where a little old lady is slowly driving the latest, high selling, economy car, when she’s suddenly crushed by a flying H3 with Gold-plated razor-blade rims that can fly and gets 5 mpg. The message: economy cars are a piece of shit, you need THIS, or you’re totally gay!… I’m paraphrasing here, of course… but not by much.
