Nintendo is the OG of gaming. Been doing it longer than any other in the game. They've got the most variety of any fanbase imo. Because There are folks who grew up with the NES/SNES, folks who grew up with the N64/Gamecube, or folks in between SNES/N64 etc.
Each gens idea of who Nintendo is doesn't mesh together necessarily. The N64's and the Gamecube was a departure from the Nintendo of old. And their sales suffered. The Wii was a return to their NES roots and they flourished. With Wii U they went backwards towards Gamecube's quirky direction, and now sales suffer again.
"Nintendo faithfuls" are a varied bunch. Some NF's sign off on whatever Nintendo does. Other NF's don't. You can please some of the people some of the time, can't please all the people all of the time.
Bet between Slimbeast and Arius Dion about Wii sales 2009:
If the Wii sells less than 20 million in 2009 (as defined by VGC sales between week ending 3d Jan 2009 to week ending 4th Jan 2010) Slimebeast wins and get to control Arius Dion's sig for 1 month.
If the Wii sells more than 20 million in 2009 (as defined above) Arius Dion wins and gets to control Slimebeast's sig for 1 month.
