Nintendo

Synonymous with fanboy. A fantastically successful company known for bringing video games to the masses, Nintendo is home to at least attempting innovation, and despite some dissent among "hardcore" gamers that Nintendo caters to kids, tends to succeed more often than not -- if not critically, then at least commercially. Though they tend to deny it, Nintendo inarguably possesses the greatest legion of fanboys any console company has ever seen. "Character Battles" that occur on popular websites rarely see any non-Nintendo character win, despite game sales figures which would suggest other characters would win. The most popular games also tend to be Nintendo, almost all the time -- even though sales figures do not support such popularity. While sales figures of the Nintendo Wii have been staggeringly high, game quality is particularly low, especially when compared to Microsoft's XBox 360, the Sony Playstation 2, and even Nintendo's own Gamecube. Meta-review scores of Nintendo Wii games by independent websites are nearly all below-average, while, despite a general poor implementation of the WiiMote/Nunchuck control inputs, User Reviews rate them at a much higher level. The only explanation is fanboy.
