Get used to it. The Wii's entire lifetime people did the same. In the beginning they constantly said same as Switch. ARtificial supply constraint. It's not popular, not selling well, ect. 

And then throughout its lifetime it was considered a "fad"

People still today will vehemetely reject considering the Wii a successful console. 

If God forbid the Switch catches up or passes the PS4, people will just say its a handheld and thus doesn't count. If it doesn't, then people will say the PS4 is the better selling system. 

You reminded me of when Gametrailers forums were still up, I was there at the time as well as modding CVG's forum, the latter was fine and pretty civil but the former was like a Jerry Springer style warzone and some of the threads were pure gold I know some members here were members of GT back then. To give you an example the was a thread that popped up early 2017 declaring Mario Galaxy was never going to be GOTY with many users agreeing vehemently then 10 months later the majority of outlets and GT themselves made MG their GOTY resulting in someone bumping the thread and an absolute slaughter of a back and fourth took place.

The Wii forums were the most unusual because it was nice and civil in the first year until the Wii passed the 360's total sales in just 11 months then all hell broke lose as people flooded the forums like it was a call to arms.
