Umm that is an opinion oriented statement I can't see how it can be taken as factual. Also master pieces yes can you name a single title that has been more beloved then Super Mario Bros? If we go by sales and cultural impact etc...etc.. you can't find a single franchise and IP from any other publisher on earth that has made the impact Mario did. Nintendo's other franchises consistently sell well if not better then their counter parts at any first party publisher and better then almost every game from a third party publisher. But again Master Piece is also an opinionated statement and not fact. Some people think Vincent Van Gogh is a master piece that nobody else could compete with, they would have a very good point but then you take a can of Heinz splatter some on a wall and leave the can laying next to it and that is called the master piece. In the end both statements are and were opinion based statements made with some facts to back them. They may be seen as facts but they can't possibly be. Anyone thinking I stated them as facts obviously has to wonder if any factual statement could be made in that context. Its sort of obvious I was not saying them completely factually. Just that it is the opinion I have and many others do as well, sales figures support that as do cultural impact. Plus right now none of the other publishers are capable of producing a title that could take down Mario, its not that I am saying Microsoft or Sony are bad just that neither has proven capable of creating a title of that caliber. Peter Molyneux's put it best when he acknowledged to date he hasn't made a true AAA game. Microsoft and Sony both realize they so far haven't been able to create a master peice in line with Nintendo's best. Its nothing to be ashamed of it just shows that everyone is out to create a master piece on caliber with those that Nintendo has made. Meaning Nintendo better watch out because the day MS or Sony create an IP or franchise that can kick Mario's butt is the day Nintendo starts going down! |
I refuse to read all that on the grounds that my quote was like 7 words and you gave me around 400.
