A) Nintendo fans are ... passionate about Nintendo. They use words like "charm", "heart", and "whimsical". They have an emotional connection to Nintendo. This means that they will click on Nintendo themed content. Good, bad, ugly, it doesn't matter--if you write it, they will come. That equates to advertising dollars.

are you honestly saying that's exclusive to Nintendo fans?

The first part yes. The 2nd part no. I was once one of the gamers emotionally connected to Nintendo. I think that's the reason why I still hate PS1 so much. It pretty much stole Nintendo's thunder. But I grew up and Nintendo didn't. And that's Nintendo's problem. Young gamers grow up and old gamers die. The core gaming demographic isn't the group Nintendo targets.

All in all, I knew WiiU would perform the way it has been performing because the "whimsical charm" of Wii only lasted so long. I don't know any Wii owners who still plays their Wii or even know where in their closet their Wii is.
