I bet Nintendo even makes more games than the makers of Candy Crush, yet we cry about how many games we are getting.

Why the double standards in the gaming community. How many games does Rockstar put out a year, or Naughty Dog?

Electronic Arts probably is one that rivals them, but can we count sports games?

 

I am sure some companies make more games.... maybe....but do you get the point? Nintendo does a Hell of a lot for one company!

Nintendo is a publisher than presides over a dozen or so developers, compare them to EA, Ubisoft, or Sony Worldwide Studios. Those are comparisons you can, not Rockstar or Naughty Dog.

Why is Naughty Dog being compared to the entirety of Nintendo? Do you mean Sony's World Wide Studios?

The reality is, for the average person, all that really matters is the total number of quality games they have the opportunity to play. If one new system has 10 games in a year while another has 20, they aren't going to break down who made those games, they're only going to think about whether or not they want to play them.

We had this argument in another thread. Since Quality is subjective, quantity has greater bearing on the average consumer because the average user has a higher chance of finding a game that suits his/her preferences

@bold: hence this qualification is flawed, quality is defined by a persons prefrence. So the number of games the average consumer would consider of quality would be capped by the amount of games avaliable, and the amount of games increase the probablity that you will find a game that you want.

Quality has little bearing to the truly average consumer.

The amount of truth in this comment which is frequently overlooked by many (sometimes myself when im counter-trolling), yet so obvious upon reading is mind melting.

We're supposed to consider this a fact because you're willing to bet on it? Yes, that sounds like a valueable source of information.

Looking at the Pace of releases by Sony and Microsoft... i would say they are doing well.

(This analisys is only for next-gen consoles).
This May Nintendo will have released 2 first party retail games this year.

Microsoft released none. Sony released one.

Yes, I know quality is subjective, that's why quantity means more people will find games they want to play.  That's what I said.  I don't understand your complaint with my statement.

People are complaining about the mandatory Nintendo hardware purchase.

Nintendo would be far better off as a developer, not having to worry about hardware specs, just games.


Fuck that.

They'd be hindered.

 

OT:

Nintendo is only rivaled by EA as far as quantity of titles and even there Nintendo delivers more (last time I checked).

Nintendo also switches places with EA all the time as the publisher who sells the most titles (total sum, not specific IPs).

All doing that on only two or maybe three platforms at at time while EA (and others) have all consoles plus PC.

Nintendo is prime example of the higher level of quality you can have when the hardware maker is the software maker. They do this better than anyone of any market, including Apple.

Quite the contrary, Nintendo uses underpowered hardware for two gens now, both console and handheld. Developing for MS/Sony while retaining creative freedom on their IP's would be great for everybody, especially those who don't want to buy the console paywall to play their favourites.



Xbox: Best hardware, Game Pass best value, best BC, more 1st party genres and multiplayer titles.

Ah ... uh.  Okay.  Personally, I doubt many people are buying consoles for games they have no interest in but I could be wrong.
