I didn't ignore that. I agreed that Nintendo deserves criticism for that. It's a pretty bullshit thing to do and it's not even like when they released the expansion pack for the N64 where you could upgrade it with a smaller purchase (rather than buying a brand new N64).
FYI, I don't own a Nintendo console. Haven't owned one since the N64, and the only ones I do own are said N64 and an old Gameboy color. So I hardly count myself as a "blind supporter" considering they haven't seen any money from me in well over a decade : P
