Well I think after MK8 happy hyping got crushed by reality and the boost didn't sustain almost all ninty fans accepted the console will sell gc level.
Please don't focus on a tiny minority to make the conclusion you try in the op.
And as long as the games are good and ninty keep support they will keep the good faith of their base and be able to release a new console in a few years. Nas if Sony ever decides to go digital only I hope Ninty is still around a gen or two behind in the shenanigans side and I can keep gaming.
