It's not crazy. You know this forum is mainly comprised of Nintendo fans. So, it's gonna happen.

This is simply not true. We had tons of threads to look into this matter, and it was clear from all of them that the userbase is actually split between Nintendo and Sony fans, with a tiny fraction (around 10% if I recall correctly) of Xbox and PC fans.

No... the polls indicated that there were more Nintendo fans than fans of other brands. Not a huge majority, but a majority none the less.

In days that there are Nintendo news you will see more Nintendo threads. It is only natural. Nothing strange about this.

Pffft! Nintendo is still doomed.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

Can't always be about Sony



If it isn't turnbased it isn't worth playing   (mostly)

And shepherds we shall be,

For Thee, my Lord, for Thee. Power hath descended forth from Thy hand, That our feet may swiftly carry out Thy command. So we shall flow a river forth to Thee And teeming with souls shall it ever be. In Nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritūs Sancti. -----The Boondock Saints

Plurality, not majority. Majority is only for proportions above 50%: The Nintendo fanbase here is not a majority.

Not exactly. A majority above 50% is an absolute majority.

I didn't say they are an asbolute majority. If Nintendo fans are 45%, Sony 40% PC10% Other 5%. Nintendo fans are the majority. Majority relates to the greater quantity or share.

The definition of a majority is "a number or percentage equaling more than half of a total".

You're from Portugal, so I guess I can understand you not knowing this.

Don't confuse me or my country with your lack of an education.

I didn't want this to get unfriendly, but you obviously did. It's a perfectly good use of the word.

No native English speaker would ever use the word in that sense when dealing with definite proportions. It's amusing how you chose the C (less common) definition without clear values ("the majority of the time") when I specifically qouted the A (more common) definiton with clear vlaues ("a two-thirds majority").

Even more amusing is your belief that you know the language better than native speakers. That is some ego you have.

I love Sony, but any company that delivers great content deserves the spotlight. Sony has to wait until early 2018 on vgchrtz.

I mean, I don't know about you all, but I have a lot of built up energy that is no longer being used on NX prediction/rumors/reports/reportsofrumors/rumorsofreportsofrumors threads, so I have to make up for it by just talking about whatever random Switch information or news there is.

I long for the day we get the codename for the next mythical Nintendo device that we can all make absurd predictions on. I LONG for it!
