Greenpeace has found that Nintendo's manufacturing methods are less the eco-friendly, rating the company's method far lower than Sony and Microsoft in terms of planet-damage.

Nintendo's responded, essentially calling Greenpeace a whopping liar.

"We were surprised by the content of the Greenpeace report, given that we take great care to comply with all relevant regulations on avoiding the use of dangerous materials, recycling, etc," said the company in a statement. "As is stated in the manuals of the Wii console and DS Lite, neither product contains latex, lead, mercury, cadmium, hexavalent chromium, polybrominated biphenyl (PBB), or polybrominated diphenyl ethers (PBDE). Additionally, we have been phasing out the use of PVC in our packaging, using a safer, recyclable plastic instead."
