Nintendo is the best video game company.

Rebuttal: Argument 1: Valve a: My opponent has misinterpreted my argument. I am not simply saying that Nintendo has made bad decisions, although I do appreciate my opponent admitting it to be true. I am arguing that Valve is a better place to work for its employees, a fact gone refuted. Extend the Forbes review as it is part of what makes Valve a better company. b: My opponent here has a lack of evidence. Extend the Steam evidence to show that at any given second, there are more than a million people showing approval for Valve. My opponent says that there are millions of people playing on Nintendo devices, though my opponent lacks evidence in this claim. In addition, the 1.3 million number is not referring to a weekly or monthly total, it is at a given second, how many people are actively using Steam. My opponent here also says that Nintendo will make sacrifices and yet this claim has no source. My Valve argument shows a specific area where Valve is making sacrifices for quality, yet my opponent is making baseless claims. c: As my opponent didn't specify who the company is best for in the resolution, having an argument that Valve has a greater impact on America is perfectly valid. In addition, America has a larger population and thus the impact is larger. Japan's population is 1.3 hundred million [1], whereas America's population is 3.2 hundred million [2]. This means that being beneficial to the United States has a larger impact in this round. This argument is being won for a few reasons. It has note gone refuted that Valve has a better working environment; Valve clearly puts more focus on quality (an argument with sources lacking from my opponent); and Valve's benefits have a larger impact. Argument 2: Capcom. a: There is a major fault in my opponents argument here. This is again lack of source. My opponent has made baseless claims about Nintendo's influence and yet is going against accurate, sourced information. The cinemablend study that I cited earlier clearly shows that Capcom tops the list as best video company because of influence. My opponent claims that Capcom wouldn't exist without Nintendo, and yet again, there is no source for this claim. In judging this point, it needs to be looked at that Capcom has sources vouching for it, while Nintendo only has claims. b: Charity needs to be measured by impact. It is very nice that Nintendo does a lot for people, that's great, though impact is what matters. Capcom is effectively saving lives with its charity work. Nintendo may be donating for gifts, and that is important, though saving lives is a much larger impact. In addition, numbers need to be provided. While my gamesradar evidence clearly showed numbers for how effective the charity is, my opponent has failed to quantify Nintendo's work. Finally in this point, I did not list all of the charities that Capcom is helping. Here are a few more examples of great charity work: "All of the proceeds will benefit two charities: The Save Babies Through Screening Foundation and the March of Dimes New Mexico Chapter, who are fighting to save children's lives and spread awareness about congenital heart defects" [3] Again here, Capcom is saving lives, the ultimate charity. The Capcom argument is going to come down to two things: impact on the gaming world and impact on others. For the gaming world, Capcom has been shown, with sources, to be superior to Nintendo. In terms of charity, Capcom is winning based off of impact and numbers. To wrap up, I'll go over the voting points. In order for the Neg to win, I must simply prove one of these two companies to be better than Nintendo. My opponent thus needs to defend against all other video game companies. In addition, it should be noted that my opponents case is no longer relevant to the round, and does not need to be flowed through as the round is now between Capcom and Nintendo and Valve and Nintendo. You made great arguments Aff, I look forward to the final round. [1]http://www.worldometers.info... [2]http://www.census.gov... [3]http://www.eventhubs.com...
