That's a ridiculous theory. How many people have you read claiming that they were long time nintendo fans? Perhaps 1,000? And their being Nintendo fans is disproven by the fact that gamecube "only" sold 21,000,000 units?
Random samplings on message boards are not going to get you to 21,000,000. How in the world are you doing the math to figure out that there are too many people claiming they are Nintendo fans, is it buy percentage of people that bought a Gamecube in that generation? Look, if you don't want to believe that these people are long time Nintendo fans because of what they are saying go right ahead, but don't try to prove your reasoning with faulty math that you'll never work out to anyone's satisfaction.

One, i never stated a theory, merely an opinion and i'm well aware of the maths. That is the point about me using the expression random sampling, i wouldn't have to get 21 million. It's extrapolating a finding about a larger number from a smaller number. Anyway, i wasn't meaning this in it's purest mathematical sense, rather that i wasn't making any claims above random observation. There is no maths in my post and i never claimed that there was but if you feel the need to jump on me because of the use of one expression then
" I don't want to believe that these people are long time Nintendo fans because of what they are saying"
There, is that better?
