They don't exactly bring the term "Greatness" to mind

You ask if people read review magazines before buying N64 games.
Hell YEAH, I wish I was rich like you and could just ask my parents. A GamePro review saved me from Superman 64 and every game didn't have demoes so how would you know if a game was bad before you spent your money on it. It may have been before your time but there wasn't always an internet to tell us when a game dropped or video game TV shows. The only way to know when a game was coming was magazines otherwise you only found out through friends or it just appearing in stores.
If you didn't read reviews then you may have been suckered in by deceptive boxart the CGI trailers of the time. Box art that made the game seem a lot cooler than it was, reading a review would save you $90 but for you the rich kid that wouldn't have mattered but for the rest of us if our parents were only going to get us one game I'd rather be sure it was good and not gamble on it. This would change once BlockBuster arrived and you could just rent games if they didn't score well.
Then you said you didn't play games as a kid you played sports - "You know, actually going outside and having a life. "
This implies that now that you do play games you don't have a life because obviously you can't do all

Meanwhile Wii U even while not getting games when it does they are really good.
I'd rather spend my money of one AWESOME game ever 3 months than spend it on 3 AAA sub par games every month

Sony just like the HYPE Train go and the people riding never realized they had left the track miles back, looks like the train is finally about to stop and it's a long walk back to the station

DLC months later as ADDED content? Who does that
I mean they even threw in Yoshi and ShyGuy skins when they should have charged $1.99 for each color.
$4 for each new track $5 for Karts $5 for each new Character.
Get with the modern consoles Nintendo and allow third parties to bend your consumers over a park bench

Looks like we found that reason for delaying the financial report!
Looks like one company is more "doomed" than the other. One company has been buying new buildings and making profits while the other hasn't yet the gaming press and industry leaders want to push the healthy company out

People say "Oh well Nintendo could do it right" Yeah "COULD" I'm sure Sega never thought they'd be in the position now when they went third party those many moons ago.
The idea that Nintendo should throw it all away to make money for Sony and MS in paying them fees and incur higher development cost is so stupid. They'd probably end up making just as much money as they do now. Meaning going third party would benefit everyone that turned their backs on them but not Nintendo themselves
