Why do nintendo fans hate Xbox so much?

What are your theorys?

Think its a combination of a few things. That Xbox recently secured the number two spot. And that Microsoft has started to appeal to the mainstream gamer, somthing nintendo has yet to do. The third is that PS2 is so far ahead, some are just looking for a fight, and the only forseable contender they can go up against, is Xbox, so that is what they went with.

Any thoughts?

p.s. Lets try and keep the discussion civil, so this doesn't get closed. Lets just have some intellegent conversation.

Well, I am not sure if this thread will remain open for very long, but I will give my opinions anyways

1) The Architecture. Putting a PC in a box that resembles a console somewhat, and runs a Windows OS is NOT the way to make a console. The very idea of it annoys me. Consoles and PCs should be kept seperate, and I do not like the integration thing MS is pushing.

2) Microsoft. They have no gaming experience, and nothing other than greed brought them into the console industry. They figure that if they can throw enough money in, they can buy themselves a place, and make some more money. I have no respect for that philosophy.

3) The advertising. Their ads remind me of AOL ads. They don't contain much factual information, and rely entirely on hyping up something that isn't true. (250 million polys/sec, exclusive games, most powerful console ever made, etc, etc, etc.)

That about covers my primary reasons for hating it. I would NEVER buy an Xbox. I don't care if they bought the most magnificent game ever. I don't care if they bought Nintendo. I am never EVER buying another Microsoft product as long as I live because of the Xbox.

I have no such disposition towards Sony however. I don't really care about them either way.

I don't think it's just Nintendo people. Some people just hate MS in general.

I can be counted in that bunch. I really dispise the company, and refuse to use any MS products at all, which is why I'm not a fan of Xbox. They will never see a dime from me.

Many of us don't hate the Xbox, OR Microsoft. Many PGC staff have Xboxen, myself included. And I have a whopping THREE games for it. I don't hate the Xbox, I just wish there was more decent games to play on it.

First off, I'm more of a PS1/2 fan than a Nintendo fan. Second, it's not the X-box I dislike. I think it's a fine console.

It's the lack of good software I dislike. See, most of the games are already available for my PC, so there's no reason to buy the console... which leaves only X-box exclusives 3-4 games that I'd want. I don't think that's a big enough library to justify purchase.
