Ya there is more games, but you have to consider the games are not to scale as Sony or Microsoft's games.  There's 2 re-releases there, a mobile game ported to 3DS, a game with a bunch of mini-games tacked togeher, and a bunch of budget games.  Honestly I'd say Bloodbourne's production values could rival most of those combined.

This basically shows the difference between Nintendo and Sony/Microsoft, Nintendo has more releases but they are games on a smaller scale which Sony/Microsoft have more big scale projects.

It's good from them as usual but they you can't do it all by themselves. How would the unified console work? You by a home console and a handheld and your games will be cross buy and will work on both?

6 out of 10 are Mario, Kirby, Zelda, Pokemon. This is why Nintendo isn't doing well. The company won't prosper but catering to only devoted fans. It's the same every time. How many Mario games are already out on WiiU?



PC GAMING: BEST GAMES. WORST CONTROLS

A mouse & keyboard are made for sending email and typing internet badassery. Not for playing video games!!!

So many releases in March!

I'm pretty curious on how much Xenoblade 3D will sell, especially in North America.



"Just for comparison Uncharted 4 was 20x bigger than Splatoon 2. This shows the huge difference between Sony's first-party games and Nintendo's first-party games."

Not sure I agree with that. Nintendo has some HUGE games and to fill in the gaps, they use some of their resources to make smaller games. I certainly wouldn't say Sony or Microsoft necessarily makes "bigger" games than Nintendo.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

Nintendo does have huge games like Zelda and Xenoblade I didn't say they were nonexistent, nor did I say one strategy was better than the other.  Nintendo needs to do this because they don't have third party releases so they have to pump out more games, Sony/Microsoft can have less games because they have third party games to fill in the gaps.  Each method words for them.

There going to make the games that sell, and those titles obviously sell pretty well for them.
