The difference being that Nintendo makes unbelievable amounts of money because Nintendo fanboys won’t stop opening up their wallets. Microsoft doesn’t have that kind of loyalty or revenue (and you can bet Sony is going to join the club before the year is out).

I'm sure "fanboys" is true to some extent but their target audience is children and casual gamers.

There are so many people that don't play games beyond Mario kart, animal crossing, party games, etc

according to a recent U.S. survey conducted by Nintendo, most Switch purchases are being made by "male consumers in their 20s and early 30s."

Over 60,000 people replied, and the results (shown below) suggest 86 percent of Switch buyers are men, with only 11 percent being identified as women.

Looking at the age of buyers, 43 percent fell into the 25-34 age group, while 20 percent slotted into the 19-24 category.

It’s driven by men 20-35
