Also, don't lump faux-Nintendo fans in with the real deal. Anyone who claims to be a Nintendo fan and says something like "Gamecube was the best Nintendo console ever" or "Nintendo hasn't been good since Gamecube" or "Why can't Nintendo make something like Gamecube again" are more or less confused Playstation fans who think they're Nintendo fans. Essentially what they want is a gimped Playstation 4 in the same way the Gamecube was a gimped PS2 (childish design, weird controller which didn't support certain game genres, micro-dvds instead of the real deal; it was a PS2 Jr.), rather than a console that is uniquely Nintendo, and vastly different from the competition, particularly the NES, Gameboy, DS, Wii, and Switch.
In other words, those who were excited for the Switch, that's us, the Nintendo fans; the ones who love Nintendo and they're philosophy. Those who were disappointed because it wasn't a gimped PS4 clone, they're Playstation fans who want a playstation-like console, they like Sony's philosophy, hate Nintendo's philosophy - but ironically dislike the Sony label and love the Nintendo label. They're shallow in that regards.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
