!gaming is a community for gaming noobs through gaming aficionados. Unlike !games, we don’t take ourselves quite as serious. Shitposts and memes are welcome.

Our Rules:

1. Keep it civil.

Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only.

2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry.

I should not need to explain this one.

3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.

Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.

4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month.

Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

It’s also an echo chamber if you only consider the games you played are the only valid options.

I mean, you couldn't be more wrong lol. I played the colorful Nintendo games back then and mostly hated on all the brown PS/XBox stuff (unfairly, there were some gems among those).

If you only consider a platform or a genre, you are narrowing the scope. Which is not the point of an industry average.

Using just the top 20 narrows it too. But my point is more that an taking an average doesn't prove whether a trend existed or not. And somehow I don't think that the creator of the meme was thinking of Nintendogs and Wii Sports.
