If you want to play that card, post the numbers for all games on that console. That makes a little more sense.


Big 3 Sony, Nintendo, Microsoft.

I made that quite apparent didn't i ?


In hindsight there is only one way to interpret it, but since most of the discussion is about all the games on the consoles made by the "big 3", it would have been best to put up a big red flag saying "these are the games MADE BY Sony, Nintendo, and Microsoft, not just on their consoles."

No one can crucify you for not doing that -- but you shouldn't complain too much if people fail to immediately see that you made the distinction.

I didnt give any opinion in the first post becasue i did not want influence the replies in any way. I just posted some numbers with a source for them, its the rest of you that started to argue them for some reason.


Your original post is misleading.

You later said "facts don't favor the Wii", what "facts" are you talking about and in what way do these "facts not favor the Wii"?

"Yep, it does not show the wii as best."  World wide sales say otherwise since the Wii came out.

"Now look at the top ones from the last gen" I did, and the overwhelming majority are E or more mild T games.

"Any time anyone says nintendo is mostly games rated e (truth) the wii supporters say its bs, well now there proof to shove in their face."  Proof that E games sell more?  Who said Nintendo made M-rated games?

"Try going by the predecesors to the Wii/360/PS2" Reiteration of an argument already proven wrong.

"steven787 why no T games, nintendo lacks them its only 6% of their stuff...Fable is a M rated."  I was wrong Fable is rated M... but you are still missing the point LAST GEN (PS2, XBOX, and GCN) the majority of million sellers are E or moderate T.

"Racing cars and stealing them +guns, art sure does imitates life. "  About as relavant to the point as any other comment, because there is no point to the data you posted.

"I didnt give any opinion in the first post becasue i did not want influence the replies in any way. I just posted some numbers with a source for them, its the rest of you that started to argue them for some reason. " wrong. "66.6 is kinda funny for Sony."



I would cite regulation, but I know you will simply ignore it.

it's just hus back at his old "nin is kiddie" tricks.

As if anyone except him cares about the ratings on the games.

Yep facts dont favor the wii, none of you care


Why do facts about ratings favor or not favor a company?  Do you feel games sell because of their rating?  Or do you just feel that so-called "mature"-rated games are better/more suitable for adults?  If you say yes to the last question, how can you honestly feel that way?

 Excuse me people, but this question has already been answered.

Hus, are you trying to say that by "facts don't favor the Wii" you meant "facts indicate that the Wii has predominantly E-rated games"? Yes or No answer please; if the answer is "No" then you may elaborate.
Yes.

Actually it's not 666... that was a numbering error. The actual number of the Devil is 616 as can be seen in the earliest texts that refrence it.

Also... the wii is just 30 games short of the 360? Whaa?


That number is taken from the ESRB's site, which is to say it includes all games that they have rated, both released and unreleased.  For instance, I noticed Metroid Prime 3 on the Wii's list of T-rated games.  So these numbers are strongly influenced by the future as well as the past.  


I get that, i'm just kinda shocked that it would catch up that fast as far as announced and released games would go.  I mean it's going to have like twice the games the PS3 has for the same amount of time.

This thread sucks. Hus, if you're going to troll and say the Wii sucks or whatever, at least get your facts right...you're not including a ton of games on that list. This thread is locked.

Bet with disolitude: Left4Dead will have a higher Metacritic rating than Project Origin, 3 months after the second game's release.  (hasn't been 3 months but it looks like I won :-p )
