It is ABSOLUTELY FINE to care about sales. If I really enjoy a platform, game, series, or whatever, then obviously I am happy if if does well and sells a lot because it then means I'LL GET MORE OF IT.
It seems ever since Phil Spencer said "stop caring about sales", people on this website are going out of their way to peddle this "as a consumer why should I care" bullshit every time sales numbers are mentioned. Even in sales threads!
By caring about sales you are not automatically a corporate shill or trying to be friends with the corporation. You just want more good shit.
Of course, it can be taken too far (see: console wars) but there is absolutely no harm in being enthusiastic about sales.
Please stop the "as a consumer" posts regarding sales.
