Not a ridiculous statement, and I did back it up, it was an opinion. Not your opinion granted.
And, no, I would not be in a "bracket" that considers all things Nintendo to be perfect, and I've spent more time on non-Nintendo games in the last 25 years.
But, Nintendo have always brought something interesting to the table, and other companies have taken those steps and ran with it, and good luck to them.

Touchscreens and analogue controllers, not to mention force feedback to name three.

You have a real issue with big budget multi release franchises? Cash ins? You'l need to take a closer look at your beloved Nintendo then. Cough *amiibo* cough *endless mario tie ins* cough.

You aren't reading my posts properly.
I have no issue with multiplatform releases.
My games collection is full of games that appeared on multiple platforms, from the Arkham titles to Bioshock, from the Souls games to the recent Doom reboot.
I don't even have an issue with people who only buy a couple of games a year and they are always from the handful of annual releases from Ubi or EA or Activision.
I was making the point that the boxes that play those games are only nominally different from each other and the sense of character, that certain something interesting has been leeched from both the PS and the XB brands over the years.
Nintendo at least try something different.

Personally I'd like rather see all 3 companies succeed and embrace the choice rather than making childish accusations and slants toward your less loved consoles.

I'd love to see all three manufacturers, four if you include PC as a platform, become successful. There is surely the breadth in the market for everyone to make lots of sales.
Certainly if Nintendo can successfully translate older, previously DS owning people onto their new console it will make the Switch a success, but Nintendo need to deepen the available pool of games for the system, both in terms of first party and third party, though early adopters like myself will buy it regardless.
The most people to own a PS3 didn't buy into the format in the first year, possibly not even the second. So the year to be watching Switch sales will really be Xmas 2018, but Nintendo would do well to have the software library attractive to the average punter by then, not just to the existing demo that buys their stuff.

The amount of brilliance on PlayStation alone in the past few generations puts Nintendo to shame.

Eh, no, not really.
Don't get me wrong.
The PS2 was incredible, and when the PS3 got it's thumb out it was a super platform for great titles, with PS+ a fantastic idea.
The PS4 is getting there, but the number of Sony exclusives worth having is still very small compared to the numbers on the PS3, and even then the PS2 had that console well licked.
The poor Xbox1 simply isn't in the race at all.
But, the Wii had some simply stellar titles for which the PS3 had no real answer, Mario Galaxy and it's sequel, as well as Metroid Prime Trilogy are best in their generation.
The WiiU has had more excellent exclusives than the PS4 and XB1 combined.
So, Playstation is important, I play a lot of it, but it hasn't really performed at all as consistently as you think, certainly it and the XB1 fizzled out at the last E3 with a poor showing indeed.

Sligeach is pretty awesome btw and a great contributer.
He/she knows exactly the response some of his posts are going to generate, but believes in the points there in, and is happy to debate and discuss, and Sligeach pretty much maintains an excellent number of threads here too.
So, I wouldn't go using that users experience to justify any other perceived aggro.
