* CNN Money (or Fortune Magazine, it's hard to tell) did a review for the 3DS, to which there were glaring issues. Those involved specifically to this trope were complaining about the 3DS using cartridges, "which weren't used on since the last GameBoy" and "to add insult to injury, it comes with a stylus, which we've last seen on BlackBerry devices in the early 2000s".
** Otherwise the reviewer's credibility for reviewing the device was he was a "hardcore gamer that grew up on Halo".
** And Apple's iPod, iPad, and iPhone were seen as direct competition (although technically they are, they aren't marketed as such).

These instances did not relate to misspelling the alien names for weapons or confusing individual ship-based episodes with the entire series, but included misnaming the F-303 fighter and describing a BottleEpisode which took place ''entirely'' within a mountain base as threatening "the ship."
