I'm not even sure what you're on about here, but if you're saying what I think you're saying, then I say: no one is telling you never to listen to Rich from ReviewTechUSA or the Critic; the problem is you just grab quotes from one of the two of the them verbatim (especially the former) and then use them like a club to beat everyone else into submission. There's absolutely nothing wrong with taking ideas from other people - but you should try to draw from more than one or two people and also do some critical thinking of your own so that you're not just acting like a cipher all the time. Maybe you should also not talk about things you only know on a second-hand basis so much?
The problem is I like these people and got influenced by them, and it looks like I am taking their opinions way too seriously, but I am confused where if I do not agree with them, then I am not a true fan of their work or am I just questioning it?

That is correct, I do not own a PS4 and had little experience with it outside of conventions, kiosk demos, and friends house so I do not have lots of experience with it. I will also explain the things I do not like from the PS4 and mind you this is coming from someone who loves the PS3 and prefers it over PS4 any day of the week!
The install/loading times/PS3 has it as well so I may be a hypocrite?
The Dualshock 4 controller, especially the touch pad which I do not like, Switch pro controller is better in my opinion any day of the week!
Paid online, PS3 Online is free, yes the Switch is getting paid online as well but it is $40 cheaper, even though I do not play online much outside of using PS Plus and Nintendo Online to get Free games and discounts for my preference.
Most of the games that interest me from PS4 are on many different system outside of 1st party games, so lacks exclusives, yes the Switch is not the most exclusive heavy yet, but in the next few years it will be impressive.
PlayStation anti consumer practices such as blocking cross online play outside of PC, (yes I may be a hypocrite considering I am not a online heavy gamer but this is not fair for many people and can not blame them.), rejecting Japanese/Asian titles for western release:
http://www.gamerevolution.com/news/4001 ... rn-release, and being strict with mods via Bethesda case. (again yes, I may be a hypocrite considering I am not a PC gamer but this is not fair for many people and can not blame them as well.)
Not a fan of western dev AAA games such as Call of Duty and Assassin's Creed, etc. And can not stand these kind of games as that what 90% of the PS4 and Xbox One library is, in fact a friend of mine calls them harsh reality {explicit} games! The Nintendo Switch focus more on games that are my cup of tea! (again I may be a hypocrite considering the PS3 and especially the Xbox 360 had buckets of these kind of games, but at least PS3 had PS1 and 2 download versions and download only games that appealed to me more along with the few physical games I liked.)
Annoying non stop non-stop YouTube ads coming up from PlayStation, in fact the same friend that came up with that term got angry at them and stopped liking the PlayStation brand especially when they did big financial backing for the Call of Duty series in 2015 onward which he hates as well. (Keep in note that friend has never played much of PS4 so he may be biased as well.)
As for PC, I have had bad experiences in the past via physical PC games and viruses and malware, etc, and computers braking on me as I have had rather bad luck with them in the past and mind you these PC where not gaming PC in mind FYI. That why I prefer dedicated console/handheld gaming outside of PC and Mobile. The only Mobile gaming I do is Nintendo games for My Nintendo coins.

According to available sales figures, the PS4 has sold over 80 million units worldwide - that does make the Switch a niche system in comparison. This is not an insult - I don't have either at the moment but plan on getting both eventually because I like Nintendo's exclusives.
Most of these sales are from the Americas and Pal region countries as the Nintendo Switch is kicking the PS4 butt in Japan in terms of sales figures and may overtake it by the end of 2018 at the rate it is selling for Japan only FYI. Ok, call me a Weaboo considering I am a huge fan of Japan, and love Anime and Cats which often go hand and hand with each other, but that just me and the Switch fits that mold.

The idea of a dedicated game company is appealing, but I really only care about the quality of the games themselves. If (god forbid) Walmart started publishing their own games and somehow roped in Platinum Games for an sequel to Vanquish, I'd still buy it.
For me I go back and forth depending on what gives me the best experience and appealing games, during the 5th gen I was no fan of the N64 outside of Nintendo and Rare exclusive titles and did not like the N64 graphics and controller and was mostly PS1 and Sega Saturn as the prefer systems for me. During the 6th Gen I was a Sega Dreamcast/GameCube guy and not a big PS2 fan mostly because the PS2 graphics bug me/did not like playing 3rd party multi platform games on PS2 outside of titles that where not on either Dreamcast and GameCube. My favorite thing to come out of PS2 was Kingdom Hearts as that was the series that prevented me from outright disliking the PS2 just like how Nintendo and Rare where for the N64. And never like the Xbox brand especially after what they did to Rare. And during the 7th Gen the PS3 was my go to system as the Wii was mostly filed with awful shovelware games and not a fan of motion controls. And this also applied for the PS3 during early 8th gen 2012-2016 period as I mostly went for PS3/PS Vita/3DS versions of PC/PS4/Xbox One and Wii U games as I did not like any of those systems for reasons I will explain later if you want to know. And now the Switch is the go to system for me as it is well rounded the way I like it.

No one is going to ban you - you've generally been polite and that's all they really ask for on their forums. I wouldn't mind them locking this thread, though - I don't know where else it can go at this point.
Ok, so I took it the wrong way sorry!
