Plurality, not majority. Majority is only for proportions above 50%: The Nintendo fanbase here is not a majority.

Not exactly. A majority above 50% is an absolute majority.

I didn't say they are an asbolute majority. If Nintendo fans are 45%, Sony 40% PC10% Other 5%. Nintendo fans are the majority. Majority relates to the greater quantity or share.

This either isn't true, or is yet another illogical part of the english language. The Republicans have a majority in the Senate and House. You don't hear anyone saying it's an absolute majority.

Majority = more than 50%. If you have less than 50%, but still more than others, then it is a system of plurality and you simply have the most. Much like places like Germany or, occassionally, the UK have in their political systems.
