Sony and even ms first party efforts are much better than nintendos for the last year or two. They may not produce the same sales as nintendos products but quality is there...

Other than that the article is right...

Besides Gears of wars, Halo, Fable on the xbox360 and Killzone and........on the PS3 what else do they offer?

Nintendo on the other hand released Zelda, Mario, smash bros, fire emblem, metroid, new super mario bros and the mega succesful Mario kart wii and wii fit.

You can't deny that Nintendo is and always be the company with their strongest 1st party.

 

You are listing every nintendo published game in the last 2 years. You missed on xbox 360 PGR4 Forza 2 crackdown

Sony Motorstorm 1 & 2, Warhawk, Uncharted

Lot more variety is found at Ms and Sony than at nintendos first party efforts.

 

See, but PGR took bundling to push it's sales and Forza is a strong game, but can't even follow in Mario Kart's shadow as far as sales go. Crackdown took a Halo 3 beta to push some units.

Nintendo games sell well on their own. As a matter of fact I believe the worst selling game in his list is Fire Emblem, but even though it was blasted with average to not-so-great ratings, it still has a cult-like following.

Variety at MS and Sony? You have your sports games, shooters, and the occasional sandbox special like GTA, Fallout.

Nintendo? Successful sandbox, racing, exercise, platformer, strategy, shooter/puzzle, and side scroller. That was just what Bob listed in his post! Sony and MS could not exist without 3rd parties, while Nintendo can stand tall and proud, and probably profit for quite a while just living off of Mario Kart's legs alone. (Irony realized, and ignored).
