There was an article that was wrote not so long ago that states that the love we have for a certain console is uncontrollable, it's deep in our brain. You can't blame people for that.

What's your point?  

Discussions of what sells and what doesn't has no bearing on what one specific person enjoys or doesn't enjoy.
You can truly love something that does not dominate the mass market, and can in fact take pride in having different tastes than the majority.
The bombastic claims of dominance based solely on personal preference is not an outcome of personal taste, but of misplaced ego.

Here is a mature post from another thread that doesn't invest themself in such illusions,
nor force them on others to maintain the illusion, while being secure in their own preferences and enjoyment:

Not being #1 does not equal failure. Not being the Wii last generation didn't equal absolute failure.
I like the Kinect. I bought the Xbox One in part because of it.
Xbox One will almost certainly never be the number one console this generation. That's fine.

Likewise, some discussion seems to project these absurd ego-based attitudes on company's behavior,
when a #2 console that is profitable is way better business decision than a #1 console that is not profitable
(or even not more profitable enough to make up for the higher money invested upfront in subsidies, etc)
