What? I'm American, I certainly don't hyperfocus on Japan lol. How you just completely ignore Japan has the most views because it's a large region with actual data, weekly live data. Those NPD/Circana threads would be far bigger if we had as much data. For example how much did those platforms sale, instead of just rankings?

My post being mostly in those threads are because of whom I respond to. Do we see threads of how much will Switch or PS5 will sale in the US this year? Maybe because the data is being hidden with every passing year. Japan is big because Japan has weekly updates and is a large region. 

I didn't turn anything into anything, you made that exact type of post with Nintendo fans stick to Japan threads, like Nintendo fans have any reason to dodge any thread. Switch is doing well everywhere, so Nintendo fans have no reason to dodge Circana threads for example. While Xbox fans have a reason to dodge Japan threads because Xbox is irrelevant in Japan. 

I never said anything about nationality.

"I didn't turn anything into anything, you made that exact type of post with Nintendo fans stick to Japan threads" - I said all users are more likely to focus their interest and sales discussions on regions where their chosen console is doing better. That is not attacking Nintendo fans or warring nonsense, I literally said all 3 do it. You're the one that suddenly got super defensive only taking issue with the comment about Nintendo Fans when I said the exact same thing about PlayStation and Xbox fans too.

My meaning is simple: People will spend more time in threads that are positive about their favourite console and where they are performing the best. You can disagree with that observation all you want but don't turn it into an "us vs them" thing.

I didn't get defensive, I pointed out how that can't be true for Nintendo fans because Switch is doing well globally no matter the region. I can't speak for Sony or Xbox fans but I assume you believe that about them because their preferred platform does have regions they are getting beat badly in. You're the one that made your observation and I simply disagreed speaking from my fan prespective. You made that observation based off of nothing but Japan threads are popular, which is obvious due to Japan giving weekly useful data. While the other regions are either far smaller or we have to wait for Nintendo/Sony reports to learn anything about the region. We don't have to do that with Japan, that's why Japan threads are popular no matter the website/forum. Not because of Nintendo fans only participating in them which is what your post sounded like. I accept you didn't mean fans dodge the specific threads because Sony fans certainly do participate in Japan sales threads lol, who else would argue with Nintendo fans in them? Sony fans may spend more time in other threads compared to Japan threads but that is due to the weekly data.
