It was a well-written post, but the bolded part makes me lose respect for you. Soundwave will brush off most of the things you say while constructing strawman arguments to make it look like you are talking nonsense. He has been doing this for years.

He also changes his mind on a whim and tries to fit new data points into his view of the world in order to never have to admit to be wrong about something. In the last couple of years he has been a strong proponent for Nintendo going third party or teaming up with Sony/Microsoft/Disney, because Nintendo supposedly can't compete. Now two months after the Switch launch he says that Microsoft should become a third party publisher on Switch. Another example is his thread about Switch having a soft launch and the system isn't going to get started for real until it will have a relaunch in fall in time for the holiday season. Or his thread about how Nintendo fans should be content with Switch selling 40m lifetime, because that would already be a good result. Both of the aforementioned threads are from 2017.

I want you to know what kind of poster you are talking to. The effort you put in will largely go to waste and you are basically talking to a brickwall. You are better off spending the time for such large posts on starting a new thread instead of having them lost in the shuffle.

Now that's harsh ;) Well, it was the second time now he brushed my data points aside, so I'm a bit wiser now. Fool me once... thanks for the feedback! 

Do you honestly believe almost 50% of PS4 owners/primary user-buyers are women? 

If that's the case, then Nintendo really doesn't even have to do anything, that audience clearly buys almost half of any console anyway with virtually zero marketing towards them. How many women do you know that bought the PS4 for themselves? Now how many men do you know?

I think logically we can look at that and say there might be some polling errors going on such as if a woman in a household uses a game system for even 15 minuets, technically she can labelled a gamer. 

It's not trying to entirely dismiss the point, I'm just questioning it. Simply not listening to opinions becuase they don't agree with you is not really the smartest way to do things, I've said for many year smartphones would have a huge impact on the game industry, particularily mobile, and a lot of people on this board thought I was crazy, well look at how that turned out. I told Nintendo fans to keep an eye out on tech like Tegra's X1 processor (the exact processor in the Switch, lol) two years ago here. 

Why are you guys so hellbent on Nintendo changing what's working for them right now anyway? This thing is selling better than the Wii even right now. Why go away from that and start marketing in a completely different way? Yeah ok such and such worked .... *10 years ago*, lol, that's an lifetime in technology, Britney Spears was the top selling musical artist 10 years ago too, today she's barely relevant, Blackberry was a billion dollar company, things change, whatever Switch is doing (and it's doing it without a Wii Sports or Brain Training or Nintendogs or Wii Fit type hit) is working for the here and now.
