You said Nintendo can only sell to non-fans by announcing games 2+ years in advance. They didn't do that with the Wii, so according to your logic everyone who bought it is a Nintendo fan, hence my comment.

So what is the exact size of the small hardcore fanbase and by extension, what do you expect the Switch to sell before it falls off a cliff? How much does it need to sell before you stop pretending to know the preferences and gaming habits of millions of people you've never met?

I can just say Microsoft fans became Sony fans then.

Well for a home console 15-20 million, for a portable 40-50 million. Then throw in a percentage on top were parents by their kids the "kid friendly" console.

We all know Wii sold to casual also, that is an outlayer as they did not come back for more. They failed to recapture them with the Wii U.

Exactly my point, Microsoft fans jumped ship because Sony showed promise in the future.
How can you can be considered a hardcore Nintendo fan if you don't buy both systems? That's sounds like an excuse to explain away the huge discrepancy between console and handheld sales that show there actually aren't a whole lot of loyal fans. I asked for Switch numbers specifically which is a hybrid, but your console numbers clearly dont apply so we'll go with your handheld ones, cause apparently 40-50 million is a small number. 3DS did more than that, and Switch is outpacing the 3DS without a massive price cut and value saving bundle, so I'd say you can go ahead stop pretending to know people you don't now.

Doesn't change my point though, that your claims are not based on fact or proof, only "because I say so!" logic which works both ways. Guess instead of showing you what's wrong with your thinking I'll just straight up tell ya. To say Nintendo games only appeal to Nintendo fans makes no sense as people aren't born Nintendo fans. That Nintendo fans even exist means Nintendo games have to be able to appeal to non-fans in the first place. Also, strange you'd say the issue is that Nintendo doesn't announce their games sooner while saying Nintendo games don't appeal to non-fans. As if when you announce a game somehow affects how appealing it is, but I digress!

In my opinion the N64 was not just the best console of the 5th gen but, to this day the best console ever created!

3DS numbers make sense as kids for Pokemon and people who like portable systems. 3DS numbers are inflated a tad anyway. I know a few hardcore collectors like myself who have bought several limited edition versions. I think I am at 15 myself, lost track.  

Off course people are not born Nintendo fans. They start of as kids through their parents. Then as they mature they vanish or stay. Most kids vanish these days as Nintendo is not the cool console anymore because it hasn't got the cool third party games everyone is playing.

Most hardcore Nintendo fans (the ones I am referring to who buy both) would be in their late 20s to mid 30s, mostly male who grew up with a NES/SNES. These are the most loyal ones left and don't give a fuck about status of being the cool kid as they matured beyond that.

I only included avatars that worked well with a distinct character of some sort sorry.

A logo, scenery or blank avatars I left out and just put on the list instead.

That's a shame. I had a chef bro avatar up until yesterday. Only changed it, ironically because of E3!

My expectations are set to super-low. I don't have much confidence in this one, and that's without reading any resetera rumours.

Can't wait for the meltdowns. Thank God reactionary threads were forbidden before this lol

A lot of text, yet none of that really has anything to do with the argument. I'll assume you understand that Nintendo games appeal to the general gamer but just don't want to outright admit it. Same with not needing to reveal most games years in advance to have a successful console.

Too bad. I will miss reading through threads about how Nintendo is over because they didn't get major third-party support.

If you love Smash E3 is going to be amazing, if not, it's going to be very meh.

Well, that remains to be seen. 3 hours to go!

I also miss the reactionary threads a bit, but I can do without them.
