That's a good question. I'm not sure.
Sometimes I'm very aligned with the market. The best game ever made, to me, is Breath of the Wild, which scored a 97 on Metacritic and sold over 35 million units. Sometimes I'm way out of sync. Consider Grand Theft Auto VI, a game that's obliterating all sort sof pre-order records, but which isn't in my top 10 most wanted. I love big tentpole franchises like Super Mario and Resident Evil, but haven't played Call of Duty since WWII and haven't touched Fortnite since 2017.
In terms of consoles, I think I'm more firmly in lockstep with the general population. The best-selling consoles tend to be the best. I consider Switch and PS2 to be 1a and 1b. But there are outliers. The success of PSP still boggles my mind. And I don't know how WiiU failed so spectacularly with games like Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, and Super Mario 3D World.
