1) They still cared a lot though, at least a lot more than you are implying

2) While it is true that it doesn't apply to everyone, it does apply to the majority of the cases because that is how middle class works and that is also how the sales work... If parents bought both consoles, then the sales of the consoles would be similar, not so different... If anything, your case is the minority because for the most part, it has been one or the other and rarely, has it been both...


Most parents bought the Playstation (and PS2). So most people grew up with Playstation, hence, a lot of Nintendo fans today, grew up with Playstation. One of the most friendly games that was popular, was Crash. Hence them most likely growing up with crash.

Also, you are just using the same logic I am using to try and prove your point. So, if my point is not valid due to the logic I am using, neither is yours.

Well actually... the Playstation sold 100 million consoles while Crash sold 5-7 million per game and while 18+ million combined sounds like a lot, there is a lot of overlap of players buying the sequels so I would say around 10 million people actually "grew up" with Crash because a lot of Playstation owners didn't even own the game... And on top of that, the ps2 crash games were in decline so really... Not even most playstation owners grew up with Crash and neither did most Nintendo owners

And yes, that is true but the thing is that the Nintendo fans that grew up with the games are the ones in the forums and they are also the core Nintendo fans that will actually even bother to vote in the ballot and most core Nintendo fans would disagree with Crash being in there. And that is most likely because they didn't grow up with Crash since there are plenty of mascots that are in both Sony/Nintendo platform that many people think should be on there. And since there isn't really a valid way to prove either of our arguments as you said, it is better to try to prove with what we got instead of what we don't got and what we got is a lot of Nintendo fans saying No...
