A website does a study on the Reddit forums to come to this conclusion.
For years we have been able to see how some sectors in the video game communities have dedicated themselves for years to criticizing other titles and consoles for the simple fact of not being their favorite, this being a phenomenon known as console war that not even the companies themselves carry out. We have the clearest example with users who ask that Starfield be exclusive to PS5. In itself this could already serve to see which player community has the most capable, but the truth is that it had to be a scientific study the one who has had to demonstrate it in a more specific way.
In this case, it is a study carried out by OddsSeeker, in which analyzed 366,904 Reddit posts published over the past year in several of the video game forums of the aforementioned social network, paying special attention to the breadth of vocabularywhich has allowed us to determine the intelligence level of the users. And according to this study, the winning console would be Nintendowhile the users of this company would have used 22,216 unique words.
This study confirms that Nintendo users are the smartest
Under this same premise, it must be said that the study has also been dedicated to point out which are the most toxic forumsbeing so that in this case the Japanese company does not do so well, since Super Smash Bros has 23% negative messages. The opposite case is the Animal Crossing forum in which these interactions were only 14%.
Obviously, this study should not be taken literally, since, after all, messages have been taken from a single social network and from some subforumsTherefore, the participation bias is not that it has been high, without forgetting that the unit of measurement has been the number of words used. However, it remains as a curiosity. You can take a look at the result below:
For the rest, it should be noted that in the event that you are Nintendo fans, what your intelligence could indicate is that you miss the Nintendo Direct of June 2023 that was announced yesterday and that will offer great company news for the remainder of the year.
