"if they didn't throw gotcha questions at Sarah Palin, maybe she would have known what newspaper she reads!"
I think we've reached the point where for some people, pointing out facts is now an attack on Nintendo. It's a bit like teaching basic biology being an attack on religion.

Most consumers will assume that this is true, simply because the Wii U is newer. Hell, a good chunk of the people I knew who bought a PS3 at launch thought the same about games that were clearly worse than on 360. I don't think you can protect consumers who don't do their research. Nintendo is smart to play up this angle, like the "definitive version" Batman AC commercial they have playing nowadays.
lol, no I meant he cant say anything "bad" about what is basically his boss (Nintendo JP). His JOB is to make them (and all Nintendo products) look good, no matter what they do.

You really need to toughen up if an undeniably biased head of a company dissuades you more from buying their product. You'd own next to nothing if these were significant factors.

Unbelievable. I read more odd comments from Nintendo fans (or people associated with defending Nintendo) in this day and age more than ever.
You are flying off the rocker.
This is the difference between American and Japanese mentality. In the western world admitting mistakes would be seen as a sign of weakness while in Japan it is a part of the culture. Also Iwata is much more knowledgable about games than Reggie, he used to be a developer after all.
Another one. Good going.
First it's not a lie and then lying is justified because asking hard question is tantamount to being a troll or a fanboy

Nintendo plans comeback with Wii U
this is just as bad as his lie
what comeback?

I hope you are joking. I love Nintendo as much as the next guy, but why would anyone defend him lying about this? It has been proven that it is not true and the question were very reasonable (In fact, better than usual).
A return to popularity.
Wow you guys have outdone yourselves, good one.

Didn't you read the NYTimes? Mobile gaming in stepping on their toes, it's retaliation time.

Like interviewing a robot.
Jack Tretton admitted mistakes, has Reggie ever done that?
This is Neog...
I know what you are referring to but really she just pressed him with a valid, well-researched question and he fumbled under the pressure quickly. It's his job to handle the spin properly. He actually took it a step further (correcting her about the parity) and he almost had it when he was talking about the GPU specifically... but didn't manage it.
Reggie is gonna Reggie. He's a mouthpiece, It's his job to spout the company line...I think people misunderstood my point. CNN took a forum posters style approach to this "interview" it's was terrible and lazy.
But as shown people are way too quick to fly off the handle at a "Nintendo fanboy" that would be the case if I don't own pretty much ever system that has come out (FM Towns and/X86000/PC-FX) non withstanding lol

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Its been an entertaining launch period. I haven't spent a penny on this new hardware, but the internet hysteria has been more enjoyable than any 'new gadget' feel I could wring from this careening Nintendo branded cart of woe.
I mean if someone really wanted to really fucking ambush Reggie with a loaded question, you've got about 10 big issues with the new box you could see him stutter his way through ranging from a CPU weaker than current HD twins, woeful audio output solutions, atrocious battery life on the GamePad, region locking, multi-plat games running worse than on 7 year old hardware, big features not ready for launch, and more. Would love to have seen his wriggling when such a big ass block of crap was dropped on him.
*sighs* Come on Reggie, don't be this way. Lying never helps in the future.
Yeah, it's clear why Nintendo barely showed the third-party titles. Most of them are a mess. Strange since I remember BLOPS II running fairly well during that Wii U presser.
Nintendo needs less Arkham City Armored Editions and more Capcoms and Bayonetta 2s.
I bought my Wii U day one, and I'm not going to sell it. I think selling consoles is stupid as something will come along to change my mind.

Nintendo has yet to make a large scale HD game. NSMBU is not any thing I would call ambitious. I am willing to bet you will be disappointed in whatever they offer.

He's used to video game journalismYou can't be fucking serious...
That's what you wanted right?
Nintendo fans are the Republicans of gaming?
But yeah, I wish Nintendo Japan would remove Reggie from his position. His blatant PR lies are just embarrassing.
Nobody misunderstood your point. The interview was fantastic (by relative comparison to typical gaming interviews, of course. Low bar, I know) and asked questions that consumers might be very curious about were they to be interested in buying a Wii U. THAT is why the reaction is what it is.
"I own every system" is the videogame fanboys equivalent to racists "I have a black friend."

I get far more of a human and humbled person from Jack than I ever got from Reggie. Unless you hate Jack for being normal and not an over the top persona like Reggie?
And as was said, at least other execs (not necessarily Sony) have admitted mistakes.
He'll be spouting that line until he dies.

Bit of advice: Trotting out the old I've owned all the systems chestnut after the fact never helps.
Gamepad is supposed to be a take on the iPad name, I think, even though people have been calling controllers game pads for years.
And Reggie didn't just slip that statement in there, he stopped and corrected her with a lie. I wish the reporter hadn't just gone "oh okay" and said something like "well, we'll try it and see" or something.
to the third place
I do have a black friend, lol.
and no that was a terrible interview...it's not what was asked, it's how it was asked.
