You get things wrong. These five stages are designed for a single event taking place and not fitting the worldview one holds. You can't apply it to Nintendo as a whole, as Nintendo produces events all the time. You can't even apply it to something like: "Switch is a big success", as this may vary in single years. 2017 was a good launch, 2018 was not so big except at the end. 2019 may be different again. These phases are really for single events. So maybe something like: Switch sold in December 5 million in the US (or whatever it sold).

Perhaps the "5 stages" work for both groups?  

Nintendo releases Wii.  Haters go through the "5 stages" until they realize that the Wii is going to be the most successful console.
Nintendo releases Wii U.  Fans go through the "5 stages" until they realize the Wii U is a dud.
Nintendo releases Switch.  Haters go through the "5 stages" again.

It's an endless Nintendo love/hate cycle of acceptance.



curl-6 bet me that PS5 + X|S sales would reach 56m before year end 2023 and he was right.
My Bet With curl-6

Yeah, that works. Nintendo fans certainly needed to accept the failure of the WiiU. I watched this on myself.

I'm in the Denial Phase when it comes to the Wii U. I still think it's great and deserves much more love.

I don't deal with graphs. Put it in a pie chart and then we'll talk.

Instead of seeking to convince others, we can be open to changing our own minds, and seek out information that contradicts our own steadfast point of view. Maybe it’ll turn out that those who disagree with you actually have a solid grasp of the facts. There’s a slight possibility that, after all, you’re the one who’s wrong.

What about the third kind of people that just don't care about new Nintendo?
