Stop misusing the term "ad hominem". I didn't say that EA was wrong in that post (which is an essential component of that kind of argument), I said they were being hypocritical. Pointing out hypocrisy/irony is not an ad hominem argument.

Anyways, the U's launch library is admittedly abysmal, but it seems they've finally got their head around online services that don't fail completely. It only took 2.5 console generations, but there you go.

I'd compare it to the early PS3 launch if anything. Critically panned, overpriced, bad launch library.. give it some time, and I've got a good feeling the situation will improve. PS3 turned into one of the better consoles of this generation, despite Sony's best efforts to the contrary.

Also, complaints about underpowered hardware go to the bit bucket, Nintendo has pretty much always lagged behind the cutting edge on tech, any buyer/developer who doesn't understand and expect that at this point in time is not paying attention.
