OT: It goes without saying; I do not believe that the 3DS will sell 100 million units lifetime.

You are extremely pationate about showing the mediocre sales of the 3DS.

Covert Nintendo hater? I think so.


Not so much, rather I am very much opposed to people basing predictions on hopes and desire rather than reality. The reason I come off as passionate when it comes to 3DS (and Wii U) sales is that I spoke against the vast majority at a very early stage and now a bunch of users are turning towards the same conclusions years later and pretend they always saw it coming (and also because people are being very unrealistic and often downright ridiculous about these two machines).

I have been called a Nintendo hater before, especially in the UNITY thread. Nintendo critic is more like it; and a fairly good one at that, I have talked about how they need to change their recipes and market approach for years now and I actually did see their current situation(s) coming. There are very few who make legitimate criticism without any agenda; I feel free of this since I more or less detached myself entirely from console gaming in the (horrible) 7th gen and I don't believe I write unfair or untrue criticism for the most part. Thus; I don't consider myself a "hater".

PS: I was also very vocal against MS after E3 2013 and I said that their DRM talk and general attitude and, most of all, making Kinect mandatory, was a very poor move. Once more, on the money.
