Re: "We Answer To Nobody But You, The Audience" - Digital Foundry Is Now Fully Independent

@dartmonkey I don’t visit or view them outside of what I see here, and I often find what is plucked out of the bigger picture as the headline or the tagline, makes me feel negative towards them. I’m not a fanboy, I don’t have a Switch2, (currently saving for one, hopefully next year 🤞), but I, likely unfairly, think of them as killjoys trying to take the fun and joy out of this fun and joyful hobby 😅 I don’t mean to offend or upset anyone, I’m just trying to explain. It could be just me, I hope it is Sir. I don’t like negativity there’s enough of it in all our lives, nor do I need everything dressed up. But sometimes the headline alone is a downer, even if the content is not necessarily so.

I took a walk on Wednesday in Newcastle, local coastal area for me here in Northern Ireland. I was wearing my red Mario T-shirt with the big ‘M’ on the front, from the New York Nintendo store, and I had a young boy tell me he liked my top, and another shout ‘Mario!’ at me lol not gonna lie it made my day 😅 I took my son to the cinema yesterday evening and he was wearing his Pikmin jumper, and the wee girl working there told him she loved it 🥰

Re: Japanese Charts: Donkey Kong Bananza Sells A Bunch, But Can't Beat Mario Kart

@SBandy1 put it like this for… certain people. If I go to Amazon UK, it tells me DKB has sold 10K+ in the past month. Mario Kario World has sold 400+ in the past month, that’s 400 units, not four thousand. Believe it or not, MK8D has sold 3K+ in the past month, on Amazon UK. Which game is number one on the official UK charts? Mario Kart World. The vast majority of MKW sales are coming from the hardware bundle, and I’d imagine this trend is being replicated on the majority of platforms, worldwide.
