You might wanna come up with something else because I was talking of a time before amiibos existed. This is a sales sight and we mostly care about which console sells most. Ps4 is dominating and suddenly all the ps3 fans are declining.  Maybe the ps4 is satisfying them so much that they don't have time for forums.  I dunno. But what explains the big increase in nintendo fans when their sales have plummeted? 

I'm not "coming up" with anything, since everything I've said is factual...

Having said that, I said over the course of the year.  The end of 2013 started to show off some quality titles on the Wii U, but then mid-2014 hit with Mario Kart 8 and that shut up a lot of people about the Wii U's power and graphical quality of the games.  By the end of the year, everyone knew Smash Bros was coming, and it did, and it has sold well considering the small size of the fanbase.  Add to that the amiibo sales, and it's only the worst-of-the-worst reaching for Nintendo doom.  The overall outlook on the Wii U over the past year has changed in its favor, despite its lower-than-ideal sales.

At the same time, sales of the Wii U haven't "plummeted", and the PS4 isn't exactly bursting at the seams with quality titles at the moment, being easily overshadowed by both the Xbox One and Wii U.  I think Sony fans just don't have a lot to talk about right now.  They'll be back in force when their exclusives start showing up, though, and I'd particularly say Uncharted 4 is bound to bring some Sony fan peak activity around here... And it'll probably be about Uncharted 4's graphics

Maybe your overall outlook on the wii u over the past year has changed in it's favor, despite it's lower than ideal sales but not everyone else's opinion on it. If anything, the majority of people's outlook on the wii u has gotten worse over the year. It lost it's place to the xbone on total sales and it's been selling horribly compared to the ps4 and xbone. Both of those things are factual. Of course, if you don't mention those then it seems to be doing alright.
