| Neptune said: I know this is going to sounds like trolling but I don't mean it that way - less choices. With Sony theres all the games you named: Ratchet & Clank, Gran Turismo, God of War, Killzone, Uncharted, Resistance, LittleBigPlanet, etc. But with Nintendo basically your choices are limited to Mario, Zelda, Smash Bros, Metroid, F-Zero, Warioware, Excite, Punch-Out, Fire Emblem, Pikmin, Donkey Kong, Pokemon, etc. Sure theres other great games like Zack and Wiki, No More Heroes, Madworld, and there are multiplats like Rock Band, but if you base your decisions off of ratings/word of mouth, all you will hear about is the latest Mario or other big Nintendo game. There are more great choices, but you don't hear about them outside of big gaming sites like this or IGN. |
Fixed for accuracy.
There are two problems with your argument. The first, if you're going to say people are "limited" to some Nintendo titles it's probably not a good idea to leave out 80% of their catalogue. Every game I placed up there has appeared on the Wii in some form, some of which will or may be getting sequels in the near future. I didn't even cover Wiiware.
Second, the point was that Nintendo's titles sell massively and consistently, but the way you write it out makes it sound like the opposite because of ratings or word of mouth. The difference is that Nintendo sells to a much more diverse audience because of this. Sure, you might not hear about some of these game but that's because no one feels the need to hype these games as the savior like with most PS3 exclusives (the ones published by Sony in particular). Mario Kart Wii didn't even have a fraction of the hype Killzone 2 did and will end up selling around 20 million more units in its lifetime.
