    How much hardware do you think Apple would sell if there was no iTunes?

    Then explain the difference as to why Nintendo's "word" somehow has more honest than Apple's.

    Also cite anything that Nintendo has ever said to prove your point.

    … Why? That's not the argument.

    Sure thing. You know search engines exist, but whatever.

    So you have no proof. If you claim something to be true it is your burden to prove it if challenged. Otherwise, you are wrong.

    Looks like it did derail the thread in the end. It's a shame this new guy can't follow logic.

    EA really need to get over themselves and put their new titles on Steam. No-one wants to use Origin.
