You didn't mention Nintendogs or the Wii U games because they contradict what you're saying. And c'mon man, we both know I didn't literally mean Nintendogs is the reason the 3DS received the early price cut; I was making a point that the roughly 24 million people who bought in on DS weren't there for the 3DS sequel, and Nintendo banked on that.

I'm not playing this game where you choose which of my words you want to take literally, and which you want to interpret in whatever manner fits your agenda. At least with Norion, I asked for clarification and acknowledged what he could have meant in reply before you decided to apply your own interpretation and run with it. You've been on this site, lurking in each thread waiting to pounce on any post you can rip apart in an attempt at a public display of humiliation since before I joined, and I'm kinda over it. So fine, you're right. You win. There you go. Bye now.

Why would there be a contradiction when your assertion regarding the Wii Sports crowd being gone is proven wrong by the latest game Switch Sports? The 3DS and especially the Wii U are outliers in Nintendo's history; even Mario Kart 8 sold only 8m copies on the Wii U, so we can safely say that the general interest in any Nintendo IP cannot be gauged by the sales of Wii U installments. And obviously sales of Switch games (Ring Fit Adventure, Switch Sports) are more relevant than sales on any other console when discussing potential new Switch games.

I am glad that you are finally willing to stop. Why am I supposed to know when you are serious or use extensive hyperbole? When you complain about misinterpretation, you should at least hold up your end, especially in a discussion that only exists in the first place because of the way you addressed Norion. I don't think any observer of this thread thinks that you are the good guy here. But it's also not that I think you are bad, rather it's that you missed the point where you should have reconsidered and instead doubled down, so that's how it got so far.

I don't understand why you all keep acting like this is a competition to see who can get the most likes or something. I'm not the least bit worried about who is perceived as "the good guy," and it doesn't change the fact that I repeatedly tried to get clarification so I could make sure I was addressing his post from the correct perspective. It doesn't change the fact that you flew in with your own interpretation of the statement I was addressing and escalated it even further. This was after I acknowledged that I may have missed the point and said what I thought that point may have been, albeit cynically because if that was the case, it could have been said much sooner. You conveniently ignored that part, because why be reasonable when you can muddy the water even further?

For the record, Norion reached out to me privately, and we talked it out with cool, rational heads. I finally got my understanding and apologized for stooping to the level I did. We both felt slighted and provoked, so we didn't respond well. I may not be "the good guy" but my intentions weren't to rouse rabble in the first place. You can act like knight in shining armor all you want, but I can throw a dart at any random post in your history and chances are I'll hit one where your whole goal was to undermine someone, throw shade, make them look like a fool, prove how wrong they are, or just push the limits of the site's rules at someone's expense. It really says something that your responses to the matter are all about what you perceive as winning and losing. No one calls you the good guy in any situation, because you never come in with good intentions.
