ryanc — The issue you bring up is pretty much exactly the same as the one one Joshua brought up back when I wrote about Nintendo. Do you both work for Nintendo? Not saying your comment may not be just your own opinion — I’m just wondering….

Anyway — You can follow the discussion there if you’re interested. The main gist of my rebuttal is that it’s true Nintendo remained mum and did nothing — and that’s a problem, not an absolution, of Nintendo. Silence — when we do know Nintendo uses questionable materials that are v. difficult to recycle — is in itself an evasion of responsibility.

The problem with Greenpeace’s chart is that if a manufacturer chooses not to participate in the “voluntary” program, Greenpeace gives them a zero. This is what happened to Nintendo — the Wii uses a fraction of the power that other home video game consoles does and it’s materials meet all standards for non-toxicity.

However, Nintendo chose not to participate in the study and Greenpeace gave them the lowest possible score because of it; very juvenile on Greenpeace’s part, if you ask me.
