Well I'm an atheist and like Nintendo-games. I think some other of the europeans too. And there is something about it: as america is far more theist country than european countries, and Playstation has more success here on the old continent, there might be less theist Playstation-fans than the fans of the other consoles.

That must be the small proportion of members who have actually clearly stated their position vis a vis God. Which is by no means a representative sample.

Huh? What I've said is true as per the evidence in my OP. On this site, theists who are Nintendo fans seem to outnumber both Playstation and Xbox fans who are theists, from what I've seen. Is this not interesting?

You cherrypicked some people and claim evidence? You need a proper random sample for each fan-group here or look at the whole group and determine theists/atheists and fan-status of each one. What you did was cherrypicking some people and claiming evidence. You didn't even provide a list for PS-fans. And the religiosity is something I know only about a few members, as they speak in the threads about it. So your method is flawed and not in the least a proof for anything. You might be right with your observation, but your data so far is not good.

Pff Nintendo. Apple does it so much better hehe. Apple causes ‘religious’ reaction in brains of fans, say neuroscientists.

There is a difference between a Cult and a Religion. ;P



I was actually thinking the opposite not too long ago. I call for a poll!

Fair enough. A proper evaluation is in order.
