No controversies? Is this objectively realistic?

There have been several topics created requesting a controversies section, but none ever added. That makes me think this page deserves a WP:NPOV nomination for failing to do so, specifically failing WP:BALANCE?

These topics are related to discussing controversies in the past. Talk:Nintendo/Archive 5

Of all of the above they're probably not all equally significant, but it seems odd that there is absolutely no mention of anything of the sort. I don't hold a grudge against Nintendo (admittedly I also don't know the behind-the-scenes of the company all that well), but it seems for objectivity there MUST be such a section. I don't think there is any company of the size of Nintendo for which the Wikipedia page doesn't have a controversy and/or criticism section. Ybllaw (talk) 15:38, 23 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

For the record, while the other sites are fine, wikis hosted on Fandom are not reliable sources. Harryhenry1 (talk) 07:59, 8 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

The Wii U isn't the worst selling console in Nintendo's history

The Wii U isn't the worst selling video game console in Nintendo's history, it is actually the Virtual Boy, this is not mentioned at all on the page, neither is it mentioned even on the Virtual Boy's own Wikipedia page, instead, this Wikipedia page incorrectly says that "the Wii U is the least successful video game console in Nintendo's history". The Wii U sold 13.56 million units worldwide, while the Virtual Boy sold 770,000 units. Can someone please change this? 2A02:2F0A:B412:7300:80EB:BEF:5CEC:1C2F (talk) 18:11, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Environmental Record comes from activism and less from unbiased assessments

For one Greenpeace constantly ranks electronic companies low from their environmental assessments despite efforts made by those companies to reduce their impacts. Similarly the Enough Project used a lack of information as an attack and thus gave Nintendo a score of 0. These come from old sources that have not been renewed with later rankings nor a corrected record on Nintendo's response to these inquiries that are over a decade old.

This gives the appearance of pure activism attacks and not actual credible efforts to create a true environmental assessment nor stance from Nintendo. Setery10 (talk) 21:43, 21 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
