The difference is that our fanboys are supposed to be clearly and innately superior to their fanboys...

Honestly, to me a lot of fanboyism looks a lot like this nowadays:

I've never heard of the GPD Q9. So, I just googled it. It looks good, but I think I'll stick with my DS's until one of them breaks - at which point I'll have a reason to get a new portable console! :P

Either that, or like Disney does, they artificially maintain high prices by limiting stock numbers. So, unless it gets re-released as a "Gold/ Best of Nintendo" title, they manage to keep the prices high by never reducing the RRP's. A game that cost £30 five years ago still costs £30.
And then it's onto another console model which makes you shell out for the same game in another format. Virtual console, anyone? :(

Well none of those devices stand a chance against an OpenPandora when it comes to library size and software optimization as well as hardware/software versatility and battery life, but those are out of production by now (although software is still ported for it). The successor will come soon though (Dragonbox Pyra).
Most stuff that was OpenSourced (Quake 3, Jedi Knight 2, Jedi Academy, Doom, etc...), has a game engine recreation (Re-Volt, Arx Fatalis, etc...), or a binary recompilation (Albion, Warcraft, StarCraft, Diablo 2, etc...), has a Pandora port and every emulator runs faster on it than on any Android device thanks to superb coding, DraStic was coded for this device and ported to Android later and the Pandora version is free. I regret having sold mine but there'll be a successor, so whatever.

Well, no. It's more that they can't be assed to regulate the prices, so they told publishers to see to the prices. And when you're dealing with a case like Super Mario 64 DS, they don't want to devalue the game, even if aforementioned has aged very poorly.

Remember, this is the same company selling Urban Champion for 5 dollars with no enhancements whatsoever. Not that there's a whole lot you can do to enhance games along the lines of it, Ice Climber, and Volleyball.

Do you mean the second hand shops get told what prices to charge by Nintendo?
That doesn't seem all that likely (particularly as most publishers have seemed fairly opposed to second hand sales, due to not getting any return from it themselves)

Nintendo never really have had a solid grasp of modern technology. I don't think that anything since the SNES has really demonstrated a strong footing in terms of cutting edge technology.

They need to focus on the games. They'd have a hell of a lot better time of it if they put their games out on the two real players in this generation.

Supply and demand. Nintendo fans are notorious hoarders because Nintendo is awful at redoing remakes and re-releases. :V Or Virtual Console. Or even restock, now that I think about it. You like one print runs? Nintendo has you covered.
