Every site I go to -- Digg, VGChartz, Kotaku -- is littered with questions on this topic. "Why are there so many Nintendo fans?" And the answer is obvious, I think: it's the same reason the web was littered with Sony fans last generation. It's fun to talk about the console wars when your preferred console is dominating. It's not so fun to talk about the video game wars when your console is losing.

 

Are you sure about Digg and Kotaku? I've never seen the question asked there "Why are there so many Nintendo fans?".

Digg, absolutely sure: I see it in Gaming threads all the time. They usually get dugg down by all the Nintendo fans :p

Kotaku, pretty sure, but not absolutely. I've definitely seen tangential comments, such as "I'm the only one defending the 360 here, so..." or "And now it's time to get flamed by the legions of Nintendo fans.." and such.
