For your first paragraph, just re-read this: I suppose it fits into the narrow minded and self centered mentality I see from forumgoers around the web that still can't wrap their head around hows and whys of the popularity of Nintendo.
As for your second paragraph, if you'd like I can follow my answer with "(rolls eyes)" if that would make it more clear. I just didn't see the proper emoticon on the list so I didn't bother.

I can wrap my head around the popularity of Nintendo, the popularity of the music genre, the popularity of racing sims, etc.
The problem here is that you are seeing this as a thread of curiosity, of genuine shock. It's not. This is a thread of complaint, of ranting, of rhetorically wondering why these games are popular, when most of us already know why they're popular.
It's exactly the same as wondering how anyone else can like a particular song/food dish/whatever.

So essentially you're saying this is a thread to feign ignorance for the sake of elitism? Ok, well I thought that was addressed in my original post, but I suppose not. Fine. I understood what people were doing here. It doesn't make it any more right than actually being ignorant.

We're not feigning ignorance. The question "Why on earth is that popular?" is a rhetorical question. Rhetorical questions are not asked to feign ignorance. Would you prefer if the thread title was "Which popular game do you dislike", like the hundreds of other threads about the same topic?
