Well, I do have to say that after the whole BOTW review debacle, it is easy for me to say that Nintendo fanatics are actually the most fanatical of the fanatics of either console.  I've never seen a fanbase flip their collective shit from someone saying, "Yea, it's still a really good game, but I definitely don't think it is deserving of a 9 or 10 out of 10."  Or because they dared to score it just a good rating, and not near perfect, which brought down the Metacritic score down by a meager 1 point.

Wow you must be new to the internet.  Or did you just forget about the GTAV fiasco where a reviewer DARED to score it a 9 and proceeded to get harrassed, death threats, and a ton of people trying to pressure the site in question to fire said reviewer.

Or the people who bit off Yahtzee's head for not bowing down and worshipping The Last of Us as gaming's greatest magnum opus.

Or the people who roasted half the dang media for their less than stellar reviews for No Man's Sky.

Every franchise with big followings has fanatical wingnuts so get off your high horse.

I'll stay on my high horse, thank you very much.  The big difference is the VAST majority of people look at those situations and look down on those people and chatise them.  What do too many of the Nintendo fanbase do?  Make excuses for the people who were resposible for that crap.  "Oh, he should have known what was coming."  "He's just a hater who deserved it."  "It's all just clickbait, his opinion means nothing."  Looks like too many are doing the same here.

Also, you'll have to send me a link for the your first example.  As for the 2nd one, I agree with one person in the comments.  "Looking through the comments, I actually see more people going ''lol butthurt fans'' then... butthurt fans. I actually see more ''lol playstation faggots, xbox for life'' then... people who try and defend playstation and their titles. I see more people saying ''this game is so overhyped'' then i see people over hyping it."  Seems there may have been a few complaining earlier, but the comments are more overwhelmed by people jumping on the "butthurt fanboys" comments, without them probably even seeing any.  The Like to Dislike ratio is also overwhelmingly positive.
