because a lot of nintendo fans are left over from the wii dominance. also the mods are Nintendo friendly (not a bad thing, they dont let it stop them from banning nintendo fans but its a fact that most prefer nintendo)  so i would imagine some nintendo fans are drawn here from that


Maybe that's why I got banned for over a week for saying Nintendo games are mostly for kids. Won't be writing that anymore!


Well... You apparently did write it again...

Funny phenomenon - when a console is doing poorly, the fans seem to get really active.

There have always been a lot of Nintendo fans here. But we're definitely seeing lots of Nintendo lately.

When Sony wasn't doing as well, the Playstation fans were very active here.

Yes! One of the reasons I joined was because Sony seemed to get the most attention. Not anymore. I wonder why less sales equal more talk.

You kinda make a good point. I guess discussing Nintendo platforms sale numbers are more interesting since those have varied since the birth of the site (One of the best to one of the worst), while others have a bit of a trend (PS always sells great; Xbox sells decently and is PS' shadow).

But what do I know

EDIT: Oops, forgot handhelds... Nintendo's handheld always sell good and appeal to western fans, PS handhelds mostly appeal to Japanese fans... But that's a bit irrelevant since this is an international site...

Again, what DO I know!?



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

Well a lot of the xbox fans seem to just be in the xbox nation and there are plenty of Sony threads when Sony gets some news too... The difference atm is that Nintendo is getting great news as well as some eh news at the sametime so we see more Nintendo threads atm while PS has been a bit quite at of late. The late sales don't help either

Oh and sales =/= forum popularity

Great news? You mean NX? Xenoblade Chronicles X seems interesting, but what else? No Zelda for a long time.

I don't understand this. The 3DS is selling amazingly, and the Wii U is selling like shit, and Nintendo is called a failure. The PS4 is selling amazingly, and the Vita is selling like shit, and Sony is called a success. Don't they cancel each other out?

Anyways, it doesn't take 50m people to start a discussion. There are 9m Wii U owners around the world (as well as 52m 3DS owners) and a tiny, tiny fraction of those numbers is bound to end up on a forum. This isn't rocket science. There are plenty of other forums that have greater numbers in Sony or MS than Nintendo, this one just isn't.

Yes, but sales are what the site is mostly about. It is it's main feature.


Tell that to ioi (Last update March 21st)

Jaywood, you are right. A month behind is not acceptable! Sales updates have become horrible.

You had SSB dlc not too long ago, u have mk8 dlc tomorrow, u have new X footage which can also be turned into bad news cause its not up to certain people's expectations as well as its first review score having debate
