Yeah, it only had a unique control scheme and the balls not to upgrade to next gen graphics or even try to compete with Microsoft and Sony in the tech game. Instead they did something different and stuck to just doing what they do best, make games.
They thought outside of the box, and of course, an industry should never do that, they should just conform.

Gee, we have middle aged men climbing mount everest.
But moving your right arm? WAY too much effort.
And they wonder why are generation will be the last.

If video game consoles just played video games they'd be terrible boring (kinda like the Wii and Nintendo in general), people enjoy variety.

What are you 10?
Convergence is a very new trend, how arrogant it is to just write off everything that came before.
You telling me the NES is boring just because all it could do was what it was supposed to do?
Are we so obsessed with quantity now that we can't accept a good product just because it can only do ONE thing. What has mankind come to?

I like my console being able to do other things not only is it a good selling point but it help me save money on other things like not having to buy a blue ray player because hey my PS3 has one alright! Your cell phone doesn't just make phone calls does it? No it can take pictures play music and email, why? because I don't want to have to carry around an ipod, cell phone, and camera, in my pocket so we'll just combine them all which is what consoles do nowadays combine multimedia.

Actually no, my cell phone can't do all that, it's just a cell phone, and it's ring tone?
Makes a ringing sound.

Nintendo wouldn't know anything about that though as they've been pimping out the same games for decades

Same characters =/= same games.

and have sonic the hedgehog to the their line up of call girls for some reason. Why the **** does that character even still exist anyway? Apparently one great game gives sega the right to make an army of awful sequels and knockoffs.

First off, this quote is just full of wrong.
Why? Well let me tell you why. In the 90s (You see, most of us are young adults who grew up in that period) Nintendo and Sega were huge rivals, kids always argued over who was better, Mario or Sonic. Kids either had a Genesis or a SNES, I was lucky enough to have both, I grew up on both Mario and Sonic but was always bummed that I couldn't play both on one console. So I couldn't tell you how freaking excited I was to learn that not only would Mario and Sonic be on the same console, but they would share a game together.
When Brawl came out, and I pitted Mario against Sonic in a death match for the first time. Yeah, that was a big deal.
It was only something I had been wishing for since childhood, so yeah, Brawl, that was the greatest f*cking nostalgia trip a guy like me could ask for.
If only you had any understanding of what it was like to grow up at that time, you'd understand.
Nintendo and Sega were huge rivals in the 90s, it was like The Beatles vs The Rolling Stones, seriously. That rivalry paved the way for Sony and Microsoft.
Also, one good Sonic game? Wtf. Are you joking?
I'd take Sonic 3 & Knuckles over generic next gen shooters anyday. All the 2D Sonic games are top notch, including the more recent ones, the first two Sonic Adventure games were good if flawed, but all the 3D games that followed has really brought the series down, I admit to that.
Still. I see we're about to have a fanboy cat fight.
That can be avoided right now if you just admit that everything you said is wrong.
