From where I'm coming from, Rich's initial tweet didn't bother me but then my twitter feed started filling up with all these retweets with responses and it seemed like he was unnecessarily feeding the trolls, sort of speak. Furthermore, right before you recorded this podcast, Jason, I listened to Nintendo Voice Chat on IGN and he was on there basically saying I remember last year when the 3DS wasn't doing so well. This means he empathizes with the state of the Vita right now. So why are you antagonizing that fan base if you don't feel that way? I'm talking about the responses that follow, mind you, not the initial tweet.
I personally don't like the launch of either handheld (3ds didn't have games, Vita has too many additional costs) but as someone who actually wants a 3DS now, I'm not going to sit back and say "The 3DS sold more copies than the Vita in half the time. Therefore, it had a better launch." That's like saying, "The crap I took last year is better than the crap I took right now." Not to get too crude but that was the first example that came to mind.
